Design & Technology SKE

In September 2017, the Design and Technology (D&T) GCSE was redesigned with an emphasis on the iterative design process, contextual challenges and new technologies.

The aim of this overhaul was to develop in students a critical understanding of the impact D&T has on daily life and the wider world.

“High-quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation.” The National Curriculum

In this course, we start by looking at how the subject is in the process of modernising, and the knowledge that is needed to teach D&T. The introductory unit in the first week will prepare you for teaching at KS3 and GCSE level and will provide you with a general overview of the key issues in D&T and the requirements of various curriculums and exam boards.

From the 2nd week, we move onto the core areas of the GCSE curriculum and beyond.

What we offer

We offer the full range of Design and Technology SKE courses, from 8 to 28 weeks and depending on your university / school, we may even be able to offer a blended approach with practical workshops

The D&T course is built around the following themes of study:

New and Emerging Technologies
Polymers
Energy Generation and Storage & Mechanical
Devices
Health and Safety (DT)
