Learning for Work Our learning for work courses will help you build on existing skills and knowledge to help you progress in the work place. Leicester Adult Skills and Learning Service receives a subsidy for most of its provision from the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) and our fees policy is reviewed annually to ensure compliance with any variations in the funding regulations and to support the service’s objectives, as outlined in the strategic plan. Our tuition fees for qualification courses are aligned to the SFA rates for qualifications. Fees for qualification courses are calculated based on eligibility and circumstances of a learner on the first day of their course. Fees are charged under three bands: Fee 1: The full fee to be paid by the learner or through a successful application for an Advanced Learner Loan (see panel) Fee 2: 50% reduction. 50% cost of the course paid by the learner 50% by the SFA FREE: 100% costs of the course paid by SFA The following table shows tuition fee categories for learners who are eligible for SFA funded provision or Advanced Learning Loans. Any learner who does not meet the eligibility criteria will have to pay the full cost of the course. * If you are unsure about your eligibility contact your local centre. Advanced Learning Loans You can apply for an Advanced Learning Loan to help with the costs of a course at a college or training provider if you’re 19 or older. The course must be an eligible Level 3 or 4 course. Loan eligibility doesn’t depend on your income and there are no credit checks.
