How National Institute of Teaching compares
With 835 enrolled students, National Institute of Teaching is the 189th largest of the 304 UK higher education providers in the HESA statistics we track — putting it in the top 62% by size. The student body is 67% female and 32% male.
What this means for your application
Because National Institute of Teaching does not appear on the current register, it cannot issue a CAS, and without a CAS there is no way to score the 50 study points a Student visa application needs. If you have been offered a place here and expected visa sponsorship, contact the admissions office before paying any deposit, and check the official register yourself. Some institutions teach students who already hold permission to be in the UK through another route, which is legitimate but is not the same as being able to sponsor you.

Money you need to show for a course at National Institute of Teaching
National Institute of Teaching sits outside London, so the lower maintenance figure applies: £1,171 per month for up to nine months (a maximum of £10,539), plus one academic year of tuition fees. That is £13,761 − £10,539 = £3,222 less than a London course requires. See the financial requirements guide for the 28-day rule and which accounts qualify.
Those are the funds you must hold, separate from what you pay: the visa application costs £558 and the Immigration Health Surcharge £776 for each year of your course. Work out your own total with the fee calculator.
