How to treat students on PGCE and other ITT (Initial Teacher Training) courses
Do you need to give a bursary to trainees on PGCE and other initial teacher training (ITT) courses?
OFFA guidance
For 2011-12, trainees on full-time PGCE and other ITT courses will be covered under your access agreement and therefore eligible to receive a minimum bursary. Like full-time undergraduates, full-time trainees can also access up to £2,906 of Maintenance Grant or Special Support Grant. If a trainee receives the full grant and you are charging them a tuition fee more than this, you must pay them a minimum bursary.
For 2012-13 there will be no minimum bursary.
