The Mathematics Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) Course provides an excellent foundation in the current teaching approaches in the UK and prepares you for Initial Teacher Training in Secondary Maths. You must hold an offer for a PGCE/GTP/SCITT in Secondary Maths before applying; only candidates with secured offers can be considered.
The Maths SKE is not only for candidates going on to do the London Met PGCE; you can hold a conditional offer from any Initial Teacher Training institution for a secondary Maths programme. On successful completion of the SKE you will move onto your ITT course.

Attendance and duration
The course is full time and runs from the 23rd January to 20th July.
Progression
On successful completion of the Maths SKE you will move onto your Initial Teacher Training in Secondary Mathematics, where you will work towards Qualified Teacher Status.
Funding
There are no tuition fees for home students on the SKE. The current status is that during your time on the course you will receive a bursary of £4800 (£200 per week) if you are a home student. You will receive this on a monthly basis. You will not be eligible to apply for a student loan during the Maths SKE. Please note though that all funding is subject to change from the TDA. Unfortunately international students are not eligible for bursary funding, and must pay a tuition fee.
