Teacher Training Opportunities (Initial Training
& INSET)
 We
offer a wide range of Training opportunities at all levels,
from Trainee Teachers to Re Advisors/ Lecturers. We aim
to make learning both informative yet fun and interactive,
with many different activities and teaching ideas that can
be tailored to meet your needs.
All our staff are practising Hindus and also
fully conversant with western thought and culture. They
are also familiar with the educational world and its ethos,
as well as some of the challenges that RE faces.
Our services are available either at your
workplace or at the Temple, where we host many school groups
throughout the year.
