Government funding options may be available to cover the cost of the course, depending on your circumstances and the funding available for the course. We are unable to offer funding to those currently enrolled on an apprenticeship. To find out if you’re eligible, please make an enquiry.

Please note; if a course is listed as ‘free’ this will be subject to meeting residency eligibility.

Adult Skills Fund (ASF): the purpose of ASF is to support adults in non-devolved areas to gain skills which will lead them to meaningful, sustained and relevant employment, or enable them to progress to further learning which will deliver that outcome. ASF also supports adults in devolved areas, however their local authority would be responsible to deliver this funding within their catchment area. We are able to offer funding options for those residing within the Devon and Torbay Combined County Authority (CCA) and those residing in non-devolved areas. Our Helpzone team can support with any queries regarding your eligibility to access this funding.
