HC Deb 11 March 1985 vol 75 c31W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the average cost of training a nursery nurse in a college of further education.

Mr. Brooke

Costs of non-advanced courses are available only in terms of the average cost for practical subjects (group 1) and for classroom-based subjects (group 2). The NNEB certificate course, which is of two years' duration, falls within group 1. The average annual cost per full-time equivalent student of a group 1 course was £2,340 in 1982–83, the latest period for which figures are available.
