Please note, IATE courses do not qualify for government education funding. As such, students cannot fund our courses via the Student or Advanced Learner Loans.
IATE is not eligible for student funding as a private institution as we do not have degree awarding powers. Students on UEL validated courses should note that because of the type of contract UEL has with IATE, students at IATE cannot apply for Student Loan Company funding via UEL currently.

Fees are valid for the period from September 2023 until August 2024. Fees are reviewed annually by the Finance Committee and may increase at the beginning of each academic year.
Please note
In order to fulfil the training hour requirements our regulatory bodies , only two ordinary days training of the programmes may be missed (please note: this does not include Core Lecture Days, all of which must be attended in full). Should additional days be missed, they must be made up and paid for separately, in addition to the original fees. The cost for each missed day is £195.95. Students with extenuating circumstances may be exempt from paying. Students who believe they have extenuating circumstances must apply via their Academic Officer attaching medical evidence as support. In some cases, it is possible to attend certain sessions with the next year's intake.
For any trainings leading to professional registration with UKCP, HCPC or BACP, IATE Professional Membership is required between finishing the taught component and receiving the qualification and/or registration. It is also required for students taking time out from any course.
Personal Therapy
Students must be in weekly personal therapy for all training leading to professional registration/accreditation. Personal therapy generally costs between £35-£65 per session.
Supervision
Students are required to be in supervision once they start to see clients (from the second year of training). Supervision is likely to cost £50 per session. A minimum of 1 hour’s supervision per four client hours is required when students start their practice. The cost of supervision can be less if you are working in a low-cost public clinic. Sometimes supervision is included with the placements.
