Skills and Apprenticeship Landscape in Ireland: Institute of Physics
Dr. Michael Kyle:
The course is on its third cohort at the moment. I am doing it. I had better be careful. I am here representing the Institute of Physics. Approximately 50 people are doing it in my year. It is a two-year intensive course. Taking the three years together, it will create 100-plus teachers, which is very good. It is very innovative and intensive. What we need after that is a structure that includes continuous professional development. After the course, there needs to be a community or ecosystem built around it, but it is very promising.
