The TDA uses information about the quality and efficiency of provision, obtained from the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted), TDA managed data collections and other sources to inform this process.
For accredited providers bidding rounds are held each year to distribute the allocated places available to the TDA. Once these places have been allocated the appropriate funding is calculated and this is paid over the academic year.
The Agency also works with providers to improve the quality of all routes into teaching, particularly by supporting the preparation of improvement plans following inspection of ITT.
Here you can find information on the accreditation process and any issues associated with funding ITT, including the financial information providers are expected to submit each year.
