Courses may have additional payment criteria. Please check the subsidy details on the course webpage before making an application for a place.

For most courses, we accept applications from teachers who do not work in the state sector; however, course fees may apply. Information about eligibility and fees are provided within course details. In all cases, teachers from state-funded schools and colleges are given priority when allocating places on oversubscribed courses.
