Train to teach in
Design Technology

Our Design Technology (D&T) course will prepare you to teach the new D&T curriculum by developing both the breadth and depth of your knowledge and skills, whilst retaining your specialist focus.

With our in-school support, as a teacher in Design & Technology, you will gain experience in this dynamic subject, one which is at the forefront of our ever changing world.  You will work with experienced teachers who will help you to nurture pupils and encourage them to explore their creativity by designing and making innovative products which respond to the needs and wants of society.

From the Design and Technology ITT School Lead Tutor

Throughout the course, trainees are fully supported by the Lead Tutor for Design & Technology, a Link Tutor from Leeds SCITT and subject specialist mentors who are dedicated to training the very best teachers.  The Lead Tutor has been the subject leader at Titus Salt School and has recently taken on a whole school STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) role to highlight the importance of technology across the whole spectrum of education.
