The Rory Peck Training Fund

NOTES FOR APPLICANTS

The Fund is international and open to freelancers worldwide. Approved course providers are currently: AKE Ltd, Centurion Risk Assessment Services , Objective Team Ltd, Pilgrims Group and Bruhn NewTech. Courses should be booked directly through them.

• Bursaries are limited and available only to applicants who have been working as bona fide professional freelancers for a minimum of 18 months. Priority is given to:
  • Those whose work habitually takes them into hostile environments.
  • Those with confirmed assignments in hostile regions.
  • Those with an immediate or urgent need.

• The bursaries are for a maximum of £750 (with the intention of subsidising approx. 75% of course costs). It is a condition of the bursary that the trainee must pay the balance of the course fee to the course providers before the start of the course.
• Eligibility will be assessed by the Rory Peck Trust, who reserve the right to refuse bursaries to anyone not meeting their criteria.

• The freelancer must confirm their place on a course within one month of a bursary being granted, or they will lose the bursary. In special circumstances, cancellations and postponements can be arranged only by agreement with the Rory Peck Trust.
• The freelancer must attend a course within two months of a bursary being granted.
• As a condition of receiving a bursary, the recipient is expected to write a brief (50-100 words) account of how they have benefited from the training and the importance of the bursary to them.
• The bursary recipient is required to respect the confidentiality of other course participants.
