FinanCial support


Courses are free for 16 to 18 year olds. Adults can take advantage of flexible learning and various funding schemes to continue their education. Studying for a new qualification may actually cost less than you think and, while it may cost a little to begin with, it will be a great long term investment. getting a new qualification could increase your annual salary by £2,000- £3,000+.
