This field indicates whether the student is counted as 'fundable', i.e. 'eligible for funding' for the course by the appropriate funding council/body.

This field contains the subset of codes applicable to ITT courses in England from the Instance.FUNDCODE field in the student record.

This field must be coded at the individual student instance level.

Fundable means eligible for funding by the appropriate funding council/body, as defined by that council/body.

This field should be consistent with the year's early student statistics returns to the funding councils.

Early Years Initial Teacher Training (EYITT)

The coding of EYITT courses will depend upon the route followed by the trainee. Those on undergraduate entry routes, or assessment only routes, are not eligible for NCTL funding and must be coded 02 'Not fundable by funding council/body' in this field. Graduate entry routes are fundable, and can be recorded as 07 'Funded by NCTL' in this field.

Further guidance on the coding requirements for those on EYITT programmes may be found in the 'Further guidance about Early Years Initial Teacher Training (EYITT) programmes' document.

Please refer any queries about whether or not students on a particular course or students of a particular type are eligible for funding to the appropriate funding council/body rather than to HESA.

A non-EU overseas student is an example of a particular student who is not eligible for funding, even if the course that they are following has funding for student places.
