Short Courses and Workshops Funding

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.

Please visit the About Us page for more information regarding who funding is available to.

The Orthotic Education and Training Trust was originally set up by the Department of Health and the British Surgical Trades Association, in partnership with the British Institute of Surgical Technologists, to provide a private fund for the training and education of Orthotists. The income was substantially derived from a levy on orthotic device sales to the NHS. This levy ceased when the training of Orthotists progressed to degree courses funded directly by government within the state higher education system.

The Trustees now manage the investment income derived from the levy funds as its only source of income. Their focus currently is on postgraduate training and education. The object of the Trust as defined by its deed is to fund firstly, the education and training of orthotists, orthotic managers and technologists and secondly, the training of technicians concerning surgical and medical appliances and devices (i.e. orthotic devices).
