Self-Funded Course Whilst on Apprenticeship?

Created

None

Hello, 

We are offering teaching apprenticeships (L6 Teacher) and due to this, we have some learners wanting to enroll onto a PGCE course, will they still be eligible for an apprenticeship? I understand they won't if this is funding through DFE/Learner Loans etc. but can't see anything if the learner is fully funding the PGCE whilst on an apprenticeship?

Thank you very much in advance

We don't enrol to a full PGCE programme alongside the apprenticeship because the content is too similar.  We offer a top-up module to get the PGCE at the end of the apprenticeship.  There's no funding claim for the PGCE so we don't think we're breaking the apprenticeship rules.

Thank you, that is good to know. I wanted to double check as I thought there may be some cross over with the content and definitely wanted to be double safe!
