This means that the above qualifications will continue to be available for funding until at least 31 July 2026. The DfE will update their funding information in the coming weeks to reflect this announcement.

Funding for the following two qualifications is being considered as part of the DfEs focused review which will conclude in December, when it will be confirmed if funding will be extended beyond the current funding end date of 31 July 2025.

  • 60174705 - Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Film and Television Production
