Please see details below for costs for our NPQ cohort commencing Autumn 2025.

• The DfE has confirmed it will continue to provide funded places to teachers and leaders from publicly funded schools and 16-19 educational settings for the NPQSENCO & NPQH.
• Funded places for the NPQSL, NPQEYL, NPQLT, NPQLBC, NPQLTD, NPQLL & NPQLPM are available to staff in the top 50% of state-funded schools and 16-19 settings in England that have the highest proportion of students attracting pupil premium schools.  For the NPQEYL, highly disadvantaged early years settings will also be eligible.
• Please refer to Ambition's eligibility checker to check if your school is eligible for funding.

Please note:

• Just because your setting is eligible for funding does not guarantee you a funded place. This is because funded places are limited and so will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.  The exception to this is the NPQSENCO where applicants will be awarded funding based on their role.  Current SENCOs will be firstly awarded funded followed by aspiring SENCOs and those who line manage SENCOs.  
• Funding eligibility will be confirmed when you register your NPQ with the DfE. 
• If you do not work in a school/setting that is eligible for funding, or our funded places are full, then you/your school/setting will be required to pay - please see table of costs below. 
• Ambition Institute will invoice the school/trust contact you provide in your registration directly.  Depending on your school type, you may be able to reclaim VAT.
• If you are unable to come to an arrangement with your school/trust, Ambition Invoice can invoice you directly, but you will not be able to reclaim VAT.
• The cost of your programme must be paid in full before the start of your programme.  We do not offer payment plans for our NPQ programmes.
• We are unable to offer refunds once you start the programme.
