In the UK, Masters courses are eligible for government loans. The Accreditation is not, because it isn’t a university degree, it’s a post-professional qualification. This means that unlike an MA, the full fee is tax deductible. In addition, the programme offers long payment plans (up to 26 months for early enrollees) so you can spread the cost.
Many teachers find the Accreditation pays for itself quickly through new students, increased fees or job offers while still on the course.
“I didn’t get funding and felt like a failure. But I trusted my instincts. It’s only when I did my tax return that I remembered I’d paid for it – because it was such a huge joy.” — Naomi Lee-Schulke, UK
