Funding for a second PGCE?

Hi there! I'm currently studying my Masters after I finished my PGCE in SEND. Knowing how hard it is to be a lecturer, I've started considering getting a QTS as I wouldn't mind being a teacher for secondary years. But here's the issue: will Student Finance fund me again for a PGCE with a QTS? Someone from the Get into Teaching said it's possible but couldn't give me a definitive answer. Any help would be great! :smile:

Hi there. Do you know the details of the course you are looking to study and do you already hold QTS? Thanks, Leah.

Hi there, I'm hoping to study a full-time PGCE with a QTS, specialising in Design and Technology in 2026-2027

I don't hold a QTS currently, just a PGCE

Thanks. Students can receive funding for a second ITT course of two years or less providing you did not gain QTS from your previous course. Funding would consist of a Tuition Fee Loan, a Maintenance Loan (as well as supplementary grants and/or DSAs where applicable) for the full course, and one repeat year. Thanks, Jason
