The figures quoted below are based on 2008-09 data and may vary depending on the provider.

Tuition fees

For 2008 course entry ITT providers in England can charge trainee teachers on postgraduate ITT courses variable tuition fees of up to £3,145 a year.

Many ITT providers that want to charge you the full tuition fee will give you a grant of approximately £300 towards this fee.

The Student Loans Company allows students to take out a separate loan to cover these tuition fees. Students do not have to repay the tuition fee loan until they have completed their ITT course and have obtained a position with a salary of more than £15,000 a year.

PGCE trainees* of Modern Foreign Languages in England also receive a non-taxable training bursary of £9000 during their training year.
