Good Afternoon,

Reference your FOI request

It varies depending on the course and the hours available as supervised.

For the Brookes FD course we get an element of salary support from HEE and taking the supervised shifts in to account and the longer course duration the total cost to SCAS is £22,195. This is made up of total pay cost less salary support, less supervised shifts. Basically the cost is the uni time, study leave and supernumery hours.

For the Cert HE we have no salary support from HEE but the course is shorter and the supervised hours are greater. The cost for this is £18,967 so is basically the cost of the abstraction.

The university course fees are met by HEE.
