Self funding your SKE course

Find out how you can self fund your SKE course, either by paying fees yourself or through your school/institution.

Can I self-fund my SKE?

The self-funded SKE route is for:

• teacher trainee applicants who are not eligible for DfE funding
• qualified teachers who want to teach a new subject
• qualified teachers who want to refresh their subject knowledge before returning to teaching after a break
• anyone considering teaching as a new career who wants to increase their subject knowledge before applying for teacher training
• SKE subject courses which are not funded by the DfE.

You can self-fund by paying for the course yourself, or paying through your sponsor school or organisation if you have their agreement. 

Self-funded subjects

We offer the self-funding route for 12 different SKE courses. Each course is based on 100-hour units, and can be studied flexibly and online. You can see the structure for each course on the relevant subject page.

Explore all our online SKE courses.

Fees and payment options

The cost is £800 for your first 100-hour unit, and £500 for each additional 100-hour unit.

If you are self-funding, we will invoice you directly. If you’re being funded by a sponsor school or organisation, they will be invoiced after you’ve applied. If your school or ITT provider is part of the Sussex Partnership you will be entitled to a discounted fee.

If you decide to train to teach through ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ, you can also ask about the Special Sussex Sponsorship fees.
