There are many sources of finance available for teacher training. Each source of funding has its own eligibility requirements and application process. You’ll need to do your research to find the right source of financing for your needs.

Student Finance:

Student loans are available to cover the cost of training. Use the Student Finance Calculator tool and webpage to find out more.

Bursaries:

Additionally, an increasing number of our schools are offering training bursaries.

• Bursaries typically range from £1000 to approximately £18,000.
• Candidates for these bursaries are selected at interview.
