Why is SFE only paying me £1850 for my teacher training when my course is £9250?

Just saw my entitlement letter and it's saying that SFE will cover 1850 for my tuition fees. But my course is a full tuition fee amount of 9250. I had even asked for the full amount since I cannot afford to pay it out of pocket. For reference, I'm doing a SCITT program. What did I do wrong?

Hi there, you've likely applied on a placement year that has fees that are £1850. Is it a 4 or 3 year course you're studying? Thanks, Jason

It's a 1 year PGCE course. It should be costing me 9250. How do I fix this?

It is not a university, it's a training provider. Teaching London, Primary education SCITT.

Thanks. If you want to use the live chat from 9.am in your account we can double check this and make sure you hadn't put the fees as £1,850 and that the course is correct. If not, we'll send you a form to upload to rectify this. Thanks, Jason

I'll message at 9am. But I checked my course details (the form I filled when I switched courses) and I had definitely put £9250. The Scitt course is a placement/training but should not be that low. The course starts next week so I don't know how soon this can be fixed.

They'll be able to advise this and further assist with getting this resolved. Thanks, Jason
