What’s involved?
With more and more children aware of, and interested in, technology in its various forms, getting involved in Computing is an attractive course option for pupils.
Being a Computing Teacher is all about introducing young people to the fundamentals of programming and information technology and developing their skills as they progress through school. You’ll be able to share your enthusiasm and expertise from basic coding to complex programming and the use of many popular applications.
Computing Teacher training options
There are two routes into teaching computing. You can study a four-year degree that combines education with Business Studies and Computing Science (or Computing Science and Maths) or take a one-year computing PGDE course following an undergraduate degree.
