The UK government announced its ‘free courses for jobs’ initiative recognising the need to remove the obstacles adults in England face getting back into education. It offers a selection of fully funded Level 3 (A Level equivalent) courses to adults (19+) who do not yet have a qualification at this level.
This offer is also available to adults in England who earn less than £25,000 or for those who are unemployed and in receipt of means tested benefits as below.
Please note: a college fee of either £60 or £120 is payable depending on the course you are enrolling onto. There is an option to pay by Direct Debit, however, this method incurs an additional £15 administration fee.
Benefit waivers – if you are in receipt of Government benefits such as:
Those who are unemployed and not in in receipt of means tested benefits may only claim the offer if they have not already achieved a Level 3 or higher.
There’s also lots of financial help available for adults earning less than £35,000 a year, including bursary entitlement for childcare, travel, kit, equipment, IT, and materials.
This offer is part of the government’s long-term commitment to help everyone gain skills for life. Short or online courses are also available, to support adults to get the skills they need to boost their careers. You may be able to get help to pay for childcare, travel and other costs.
