Three more of our sustained professional development courses are now open for applications:
- Teaching Mechanics 1 (TM1)
- Teaching Statistics 1 (TS1)
- Teaching Discrete Maths 1 (TD1).
All of these sustained courses are delivered over six months and aim to improve teachers’ subject knowledge and build upon their pedagogical skills.

We are waiving our usual course fee/reimbursement arrangements so that all of these courses are free of charge to teachers working in state-funded schools and colleges in England. For others the course fee for TM1, TS1 and TD1 is £300. Schools and colleges located within Priority Areas are eligible to receive a subsidy of £250 per study day. Please visit our subsidies page for more information.
The AMSP also has two more sustained courses which are currently open for applications – Teaching Further Mathematics 1 (TFM1) which starts in July and Teaching A level Mathematics (TAM) which starts in November.
