Chemistry for non-specialists

Currently teaching chemistry in a secondary school but hold a specialism in a different subject? Then this course is for you!

This affordable, high quality training programme is designed to provide teachers with the confidence, flair and enthusiasm to teach chemistry at KS3 or KS4. It is specifically aimed at those who are not chemistry specialists. 

The four-day courses comprise a two-day residential and two one-day follow-up events at approximately one term intervals. They will cover key chemistry concepts and provide hands-on experience of both student practical work and teacher demonstrations. Two separate courses are on offer - one for KS3 and one for KS4.

The courses are flexible to respond to the needs of all participants - offering you a personalised learning experience. 

Animations, videos, online materials and other RSC resources will be made available to everyone who attends. A course handbook and on-going email and web-based support from trainers will also be provided.

The courses will be delivered by experienced chemistry teachers, trained by the RSC.
