Teaching Statistics in Higher Education

Certificate in Teaching Statistics up to Pre-university Level

Apply now - Course starts in September

There are many teachers involved in the delivery of statistics in schools and colleges who lack the confidence and competence to teach the subject successfully. This is due to their lack of opportunities to learn, either because they do not have a mathematical degree or such a degree did not include Statistics. We have devised a distance learning course that leads to a Certificate in Teaching Statistics up to Pre-university Level. It is an ideal way to do continuing professional development that, at the same time, leads to a recognised qualification.
