For those undertaking the practice experience by working as an assistant supervisor/tutor at KCCF, part of the fee is paid for by this work and part by direct payment to KCCF of £3,000.00 for Year One and £3,000.00 for Year Two (£7,000.00 for the whole course).

People who engage in the supervision and training course in the context of an open/distance learning and are not working directly on a KCCF course would pay a full course fee plus those travel expenses and other costs incurred in delivering aspects of the training e.g.supervision-of-supervision to the setting in which they are conducting the practice component of the course.
