You may be eligible for a bursary of up to £30,000 to support you while you train, depending on your degree classification and the course you're applying for.

"The most important part of your PGCE year is the support you get and Claire and Charlotte at NCLP will pass it on in spades. Talk to people, ask advice, tell people how you really feel - and the support you need will be there"

Abbie Hyman - (English Trainee)

"Since NCLP became involved in School Direct, I have always been impressed by the commitment, professionalism and support the team at NCLP have shown for their student teachers from the minute they receive an application to the first post within the profession" - University of Leicester
