Designation

English Providers


From AY 2019/20 English providers intending to access student finance must be registered with the Office for Students (OfS).

Once you are registered with OfS, all eligible courses are automatically designated for English students.

You will only be able to add your courses to CMS if you are registered with OfS.

There are 2 categories of registration:

  • Approved (fee cap) with or without an Access and Participation Plan (APP)
  • Approved

If you deregistered with OfS for any reason, you may need to seek ‘teach out’ at course level from OfS. This will give your returning students access to the student finance system.

English School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) providers need to be registered with the Department for Education (DfE) to add courses to CMS.
