Some of our courses are free and some offer free tuition to qualifying applicants. For example if you dont already have a level 2 qualification (equivalent to 5 GCSEs) or a full Level 3 qualification (for under 25’s) (equivalent to 2 A Levels) the tuition fees will be free.
We also provide free tuition for learners aged 19+ who have been unemployed for six months or more. There may also be funding if you are unemployed and if you are considering full-time study, you may be eligible for the Adult Learning Grant.
