Advanced Learner Loans

If you’re planning to study at Level 3, Access to HE and specific Higher Education Level 4, 5 or 6 courses and you’re aged 19 or over (on the first day of your course) you may qualify for an Advanced Learner Loan to help pay for your course fees. These government loans are easy to apply for, your household income isn’t taken into account and there’s no credit check. Not all courses are eligible for an Advanced Learner Loan; course fee information can be found on each course page.

Closer to starting your course, you will be provided with the information you will require in order to apply for an Advanced Learner Loan.You begin to repay the loan through the tax system when you complete the course and earn more than the repayment threshold.

Please visit: www.gov.uk/repaying-your-student-loan for more information.

The loan pays for your qualification and is paid directly to us, so you won’t have to worry about sorting payment out. It’s a great way to get a qualification that you may not have previously been able to afford!

Note: the loans do not cover Degrees or other forms of Higher Education such as HNCs or HNDs. For HE funding information go to www.gov.uk/studentfinance
