Additional Information

What the students say:

I really enjoyed this course. A great set of teachers and fellow students made for a good atmosphere – both enjoyable and helpful. The range of teaching styles and assessments were both useful, interesting and thought provoking and a huge benefit and strength of this course is as a pre PGCE course not just a maths course.
Ellie (ERIC student 2011)

The ERIC course is short and intense but exceptionally rewarding and so very well organised. An excellent step back into maths and I’m sure very good preparation for next years PGCE.
(ERIC student 2011)
