- We would also recommend factoring in your supervision costs with a PTUK supervisor which you will require whilst undertaking your placement. These charges would be payable directly to the supervisor and do vary, however if you work on the basis of between £40 and £50 per hour, this should give you a reasonable estimate. You will require around 20 hours of supervision over the course of your placement.
