What is the scheme?
If you’re 19 or older, you may be able to study for a Level 3 qualification at no cost. This government-funded offer is designed to help adults develop new skills and improve their career opportunities at any stage of life.
A Level 3 qualification is comparable to A Levels or an advanced technical certificate or diploma.
Completing one of these courses can help you to:
build skills that employers are looking for
increase your chances of finding work
work towards earning a higher salary
If you meet the eligibility criteria, the government covers the full course fee. If you don’t qualify, you can still apply for an Advanced Learner Loan to support your studies.
