Cover Supervisor Training

What is Cover Supervisor Training and who should do it?

Our cover supervisor training is a must for any existing or aspiring cover supervisors and is perfect for graduates interested in teaching.

This bespoke training package is designed specifically for cover supervisors who are looking to improve their skills and potentially take the next step in their career and undertake a PGCE or similar teacher training course. You will learn practical techniques that you can use to improve your classroom management skills and give you the confidence to deal with challenging behaviour.
