Study for FREE!

All learners can study this programme fees-free through the Targeted Training and Apprenticeships Fund until 31 December 2022.

You don’t need to apply to access the fund – simply enrol.

This doesn’t impact on your ability to use the Government’s Fees Free scheme for further study (as long as you meet the eligibility criteria).

Additional costs such as course equipment and materials are not included.

For fees that cover periods beyond this date, these will be apportioned based on the percentage of days or months that occur before 31 December 2022.

From 1 January 2023 funding for industry training will return to its pre-TTAF state, i.e. any fees relating to training are covered by the learner and/or their employer.
