An introduction to our Funding Assurance team Education providers can obtain funding from central government (the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), which on the 01/04/2025 became part of the Department for Education (DfE to provide 'post-16 delivery'.

Skills, Knowledge & Experience Knowledge of funding assurance reviews, PDSATs and ILR data (mandatory) Knowledge of DfE, GLA and MCA funding rules and regulatory requirements (mandatory) Developing technical expertise: An enthusiasm for developing specific expertise and knowledge in a narrow subject matter.
