Course Fees
The tuition fees for our courses in 2026-27 are yet to be confirmed. As a guide, in 2025-26 full time courses for trainees who have home fee status fees were £9535 however these could increase following government guidelines.
The fee for part time courses in 2025-26 was £11,340. If the full time fees increase, we will also increase the part time fees.
The majority of our trainees apply for student finance to pay their fees with a tuition fee loan. Please note that we are not an accredited provider with Student Finance Wales.
Red Kite offers a monthly payment schedule for those planning to self-finance.
