Seems to be an error - Sec trainees will learn two sec subjects (think might be different for mother tongue teachers).
As for offering academic subjects, I assume they mean taking modules relating to the content knowledge - they assume your degree has covered that already, so in
NIE the PGDE will only cover how to teach the subject (and not that much about the subject itself).

And the last sentence of "do not need to offer academic subjects as they already come into the programme with the relevant content knowledge from their university training" - just what do they mean by this entire sentence?
