Adult Education Funding Information

There are a range of funding options available to adults who wish to continue their studies. Depending on your individual circumstances, you may be eligible for full funding, co-funding, or may need to pay the course fees yourself.

• To access government funding, learners must meet specific eligibility criteria.

For UK residents, funding availability depends on several factors, including the qualification you wish to study, your age, previous qualifications, employment status and annual income.

Funding for non-UK residents is determined by your immigration status and the length of time you have been living in the UK, alongside the criteria outlined above. Please note that we do not offer sponsorship for adult international students. International applicants should apply through the College’s International Team.

To confirm whether you are eligible for full funding, co-funding, or are required to self-fund, we recommend speaking with a member of our team who can assess your individual circumstances.

Please be aware that government funding and Advanced Learner Loans can normally only be used once per qualification. If a qualification is not completed, funding cannot usually be accessed again for the same course. This does not apply to Maths and English qualifications up to Level 2, which can be funded repeatedly until a Level 2 is achieved.

• Attendance and engagement will be considered when assessing eligibility for repeat funding.
• Course fees are listed in the course information section and provide an indication of the cost for each qualification.
