ExploreComputing & Digital Skills Teaching Training
Computing is now core to a modern education, but many teachers were never trained to teach it, and the subject moves fast. This training helps your staff teach computing confidently, from computational thinking and coding to online safety and digital literacy, so pupils are ready for a digital world.
Below, we explain what our computing and digital skills training involves, and how it helps you strengthen computing across your school.
What Is Computing & Digital Skills Teaching Training?
It’s practical training that helps staff teach computing with confidence. We cover computer science and computational thinking, coding, digital literacy, online safety, and how to sequence a computing curriculum that builds real skills.
We focus on demystifying the subject for non-specialist teachers and tailor it to your phase and the tools your school uses.
Who Is This Training For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. It suits whole-school INSET, computing leads, and non-specialist teachers. Trusts often run it across schools for a consistent computing offer.
Many schools ask for it to build confidence in teaching computing, strengthen the curriculum, or improve online safety teaching.
