# Can I continue with my NPQ if I change or leave school mid-programme?

If your place is DfE-funded, changing school has no implications on the programme cost. If your place is school-funded, this is payable in full within the first term, once this is paid, changing school has no implications on the programme cost. If your school does not pay and you then change setting, you will be liable for the cost of the programme. You can find more detail in our T&Cs here: [NPQ Terms & Conditions – The National Institute of Teaching](https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fniot.org.uk%2Fnpq-terms-conditions&data=05%7C02%7Cc.cheng%40niot.org.uk%7C9dad9d5087254f9300f108dd7741edfb%7C4903ea3e6c7c4613975384d2ddeab6a5%7C0%7C0%7C638797847237957354%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=tvoyLhNWnU6bPCKdy1zsfGbgPqLgI34EmtCY2HbKRUg%3D&reserved=0).
