T-Level capital fund

Funding to support eligible further education providers deliver T Levels

The aim of the T-Level Capital Fund (TLCF) is to help eligible further education providers have high quality equipment and facilities in order to deliver T-Levels qualifications.

So far the capital fund has been available in two parts:

• the Building and Facilities Improvement Grant (BFIG) which providers have needed to bid for

• the Specialist Equipment Allocation (SEA), awarded to providers using a formula and automatically allocated without the need to bid

What can a BFIG be spent on?

Estates improvement project – to improve estate condition, including refurbishment and/or remodelling.

Estates improvement project with expansion – to increase gross internal floor area, such as by adding a mezzanine or an extension to existing space.

How to get T-Level capital funding

Applications can be complex and time-consuming, however, and for the best chance of success it is advisable to seek professional help from qualified chartered surveyors for education such as Surveyors to Education (S2e).

This is recognised in the BFIG criteria, which allows a proportion of funding to be spent on professional expertise.

S2e is ready to advise on all aspects of the process to help schools and sixth form colleges make successful applications for T-Level capital funding.
