Course fees
Fees for training cycle 2027-28
Funding is available to help you train to teach. Successful applicants, if eligible, can apply for the full tuition fee loan, plus a maintenance loan from Student Finance England. This means you can cover your teacher training tuition (course) fees, without having to pay anything up front. You can apply for:
- a tuition fee loan of approx £10,050* for PGCE with QTS
- a tuition fee loan of approx £8,980* for QTS only
- a maintenance loan of up to £12,667* to help with living costs
(*based on last year's figures - will be updated soon)
You can still apply for a tuition fee and a maintenance loan if you already have a student loan, and regardless of whether you get a teaching bursary or scholarship.
You will only have to make loan repayments once you’re earning over a certain salary (as confirmed by SFE).
Government bursary figures for teacher training in 2027-28 are available on our Bursaries page.
