Dropping out of PGCE and starting another

Hi, just wondered if anyone had any advice regarding dropping out of a PGCE to start a new one the following year (primary to secondary)?

I know that my first payment has already been sent to my university so am aware I will lose that money, but I wondered if I would be eligible for any more of this year's funding if I drop out before the second payment is paid? I expect not.

Thank you!

Hi Rebekah, if your course is 2 years or less, non salaried and you will be achieving Qualified Teacher Status for the first time, then your previous study will not affect your eligibility for funding.

Thanks, Isaac
