Student finance

[Dorisdaisy]

I'm applying to do a pgce in primary education starting 2007. Its a fexular full time module that means leaving work for a year...no income putting mortgage on hold for a year 1 child 6yrs, and son at university husband earns approx 12,ooo per year.
Don't want to take a student loan, does anyone know what i will be entitled to financially?
Thanks

Don't you get grants for doing a pgce? there is some info here

I am considering teaching as a career too. I was looking into it and found that financially, I would be better off doing the graduate teacher programn, as this is employment based and so I would be bringing ina wage. Infor here

Whe i was looking into it they stated all students would receive around £5/600 per month on the pgce. what level or subject would you be doing? as secondary subjects get more money for training.. at least its only for one year though.

Thanks Kelly and French, I'm thinking of a full time pgce in primary education, as a breadwinner the implications are significant. When friends went last year (uni) it seemed that they had to pay course fees and would be an considerably out of pocket so they changed their minds about teaching. Perhaps its a good thing were classed as a low income family as it would seem that I wouldn't have to pay course fees.
