New teachers

This course offers robust support to early-career teachers, including in-school trainees (e.g. Teach First, School Direct), ECTs, and those in the first few years of teaching. The programme provides structured, subject-specific development to help build confidence and secure strong foundations in the classroom.

Non-specialists
If you're teaching outside your degree specialism or have been asked to cover a new subject, the Subject Expertise Certificate is a great option. Our courses are carefully designed to boost your subject knowledge and classroom confidence, equipping you with the tools to teach your new subject effectively and with clarity.

Teachers aspiring to subject excellence
This course is also ideal for classroom teachers who want to deepen their subject understanding, stay up to date with curriculum developments, or take the next step in becoming a subject lead.

Returning teachers
We welcome teachers returning to the profession after time away. Our courses provide a structured way to re-engage with subject content and pedagogy, supporting a confident and well-informed return to the classroom.

Repeat attendees
If you’ve attended a Subject Expertise Certificate course in the past, you’re welcome to return. The topics change each year, so there will be new material and fresh perspectives to explore.
