4. The Two Routes School Direct 2014-15
The School Direct Training Programme is open to graduates and funded by tuition fees paid by the trainee, who may receive a bursary from the National College for Teaching and Leadership and a student loan. There is an intention that the route will lead to employment in the school. The School Direct Training Programme (Salaried) is an employment based route into teaching for high quality graduates with three or more years full time career experience. The trainee is employed as an unqualified teacher by a school. The National College for Teaching and Leadership provides funding. Both routes must be delivered in partnership with an accredited provider like NTU.

5. School Direct 2014-15 Funding School Direct (Non-salaried Route)
Trainees pay a tuition fee of £9000 to the accredited provider. The school and provider will then negotiate the way the training is to be delivered and how the funding is apportioned. Trainees can apply for a student loan and may be eligible for a bursary.
School Direct (Salaried Route)
Schools receive funding from the National College for Teaching and Leadership to subsidise the salary. The salary is around £15,976. The tuition fee for the academic award is still £9000 for the trainee.
