Fund your teacher training
Ever considered a career in teaching but felt unsure about the financial side of training?
Understanding fees, funding options, and available support can make all the difference when deciding whether teacher training is right for you.
Funding Options: Financial Support and Bursaries
There are several ways to support the cost of teacher training in Further Education, depending on your circumstances and chosen route.
You may be eligible for:
- Government funded bursaries
Available for certain subject areas where there is a national skills shortage.
- Advanced Learner Loans
Can be used to cover course fees for eligible qualifications.
- Employer support
Some trainees train while working and receive financial support from their employer.
- Additional financial support
Such as help with childcare, travel, or equipment, depending on your situation.
As funding availability can vary, we recommend exploring your options as early as possible.
Further Information and Support
To ensure you have the most up-to-date and accurate information, we recommend reviewing official government guidance on teacher training fees and funding.
