How to pay
Self or employer funded
If you or your employer are paying for the course there are a number of ways to pay:
- In most instances once your attendance on the course has been confirmed and a class list signed you will be invoiced for the amount shortly after the course start date (approx. 2 weeks)
- If you are being sponsored by a third party (i.e. your employer, or other organisation) then you will need to complete the ESSF payment form and submit a confirmation letter from your sponsor so that the invoice can be raised in their name. You can find an example sponsor letter here.
- You can contact our incomes office incomes@leedsbeckett.ac.uk to arrange payment or if you would like further information about the fees and costs you can contact fees@leedsbeckett.ac.uk

If you are a GP, you will not be eligible for this funding so please see the instructions for payment above. For more information, contact Health Education Yorkshire and Humber: contactus@yh.hee.nhs.uk.
