Funding guidance for early years initial teacher training (EYITT) providers for 2024 to 2025.
Graduate entry route
This is for graduates studying full-time. Training is typically over a 1 year period. EYITT providers will receive training grant funding of £7,000 to cover course fees. Trainees with high academic achievement may be eligible to receive a training bursary. This will be paid to EYITT providers to forward to trainees.
Graduate employment based route
This is for graduates typically working part-time over a 1 year period: in paid employment in an early years setting who need training and further experience to demonstrate the teachers’ standards (early years) who have the right to work in the UK for the duration of the training £14,000 is available for this route, made up of a: £7,000 training grant for providers £7,000 employer incentive for the trainee’s employer
Undergraduate entry
Funding is not available from DfE for this route. Trainees should contact Student Finance England to see if they can receive a tuition fee or maintenance loan. This route is for undergraduates who want to take a level 6 degree in an early childhood-related subject along with EYTS. This route is full-time and takes 3 or 4 years.
Training bursaries are only available to trainees registered on the graduate entry route. Providers should use the trainee’s highest qualification to determine how much they will get, for example:
•tier 1, £5,000: first-class honours degree, doctoral degree
•tier 2, £4,000: 2.1 honours degree, master’s degree
•tier 3, £2,000: 2.2 honours degree
•no bursary: third-class honours degree, third honours degree, ordinary degree, aegrotat, no first degree
Trainees who do not hold a degree are not eligible for a bursary.
Payment eligibility
Trainees will be entitled to receive the first bursary payment if they are actively engaged on the EYITT programme on the first day of the month following their start date. Example A trainee commencing their course in September 2024 will be entitled to their first payment if they are on the programme on 1 October. They will be entitled to the second payment if they are on the programme on 1 November respectively. This is regardless of the provider’s individual payment date.
Payments for part-time or modular courses
Trainees on part-time or modular courses may agree a flexible monthly payment plan, which covers the duration of the part-time programme to avoid financial hardship for the trainee. However, providers must make sure that the bursary payments reflect the proportion of the course that the trainee has completed at any point. As part-time courses will span more than one academic year, providers may award the bursary beyond the academic year 2024 to 2025. Providers are reminded that any bursary payments made after 31 July of the academic year will be included as expenditure for the following academic year, for example 2025 to 2026.
Providers must use the training grant funding to meet all training costs for each trainee.
Providers must not:
•charge any additional fees
•switch allocated funding to other trainees
We calculate funding using the FTE principle.
The employer incentive is paid directly to the trainee’s employer. It’s a contribution towards costs that employers incur, such as:
•supply cover while the trainee is attending EYITT training
•salary enhancements
•employment costs
•National Insurance
•additional training costs and other overheads
If a trainee withdraws or defers, providers must stop any further payments and update their records immediately in Register.
Providers can keep some funding if a trainee withdraws or defers. The amount retained should be proportional to how long the trainee attended the course before leaving.
Graduate employment based EYITT providers can keep 1/12th of the total training grant, and employers can keep 1/12th of the employer incentive funding, for each month or part month the trainee remained in training.
Example
(Graduate employment based)
If a full-time trainee is employed from September 2024 and leaves in March 2025, you can retain 7/12ths of the training grant and employer incentive funding.
