Apply for a DfE-funded SKE course

Use this application form to apply for a DfE-funded SKE course.

Important update

We have temporarily paused applications as we are close to reaching our DfE allocation limit. We expect to have a clearer understanding of our remaining allocation toward the end of April and may reopen applications at that time.

Any applications submitted during this pause will be placed on a waiting list. If additional funding becomes available and we are able to process further applications, we will contact you in early May to let you know whether you have been successful.
