If you are 16 or over and living in Scotland, you could get up to £500 towards the cost of learning with a learner account from ILA Scotland.

There are two types of account available:

➊ £200 accounts

If you are interested in learning something new or brushing up your skills. Many of the courses offered on part time study, listed with this prospectus have ILA accreditation.

➋ £500 accounts

If you are studying a part-time higher education or professional qualification course such as a Higher National Certificate (HNC). Courses that meet the criteria within this brochure are any HNC courses offered on part time study of day release or evening.

You can only have one type of account open at any time so it’s important that you choose carefully. If you need any further information to help you decide on the right account for you, just call our friendly helpline advisers on 0808 100 1090.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you are applying for ILA funding then please apply to ILA as soon as you have made your decision, as the funding has to be activated before the course start date.
