Membership and Partnership Information
All NTN services, such as access to the Business and Learner Support team and their provision, except where otherwise stated, are normally charged at the commercial rate of £25 per hour or £250 per day for members and £35 per hour or £350 per day for non members and partners. Some of our products and services are fully or part funded; for example, ALS/ASN support is funded through the Local Authorities and such funding can be drawn upon by providers to access learner support. NTN currently has access to a limited amount of ICT and ancillary equipment for use by members. Accessing fully or partly funded services is based on funding eligibility criteria.
