The following list is an example of the short courses and workshops previously funded by OETT.
Funding amounts can vary between 10% and up to 100%.
Previous funding of events does not guarantee funding in the future as this can depend on a number of factors including the type of event/course, the number of applicants applying for a specific event/course in any given financial year, and the amount of funding available to everyone at the time as the OETT funds are limited.
OETT funding is open to:
= Practising Orthotists, practising Orthotic Technicians and practising Orthotic Managers
= Practising Orthotic Support Workers will be classed the same as Orthotic Technicians
= Graduates moving onto apprenticeships: Graduates can apply for an apprenticeship as the next step in their career after gaining their degree, if this means acquiring substantive new skills. This ensures that an individual is not funded twice to do the same training. Therefore, as a graduate your employer can access the levy, if they chose to use the funds for this purpose, that includes MSc level.
