Student finance for QTS top-up year

I need to know if I would be able to get student finance for a QTS top-up year. I already have a degree, taken 30 years ago. I have worked in education for 5 years now in a variety of settings and I'm now thinking of gaining my QTS. Do I have one year left of student finance? I never had a student loan for my first degree so not sure. My first degree in Physics was just a Pass grade so need a better degree before doing a PGCE. Would I also be able to get funding for a PGCE after QTS top-up year?

Hi there,

You would qualify for funding for the ITT course. If you are planning to start in September 2025 that would be the 25/26 Academic Year and the applications will be live next year. Thanks, Ross
