2. FEP (Further Education Policy)
- A funding programme to which staff can apply for support when undertaking a part-time programme of study.
- A certain number of courses will have fees waived for staff. Applicants should apply to their course of choice first, before applying for FEP support – to ensure a space is held on your chosen course. Once FEP funding has been approved, the staff member can then confirm their place on their course. If a place has not been reserved and the course is full then FEP approval can be carried over to the following year (provided that it is the same course).
- Applying for a course and applying for FEP funding are two separate processes. Approval for FEP support does not guarantee a place on a course.
- Certain programmes have a limit on numbers so may operate on a first come/first served basis.
