Funded Courses
Sometimes it almost feels too good to be true that great courses and training programmes are ‘free’. And very few people know that funded education is available for everyone in the UK for life – it doesn’t stop after school and college. We are here to support you with a detailed plan to follow and a wide range of online courses and OFQUAL regulated qualifications that employers and educators highly value.
Where Does Funding Money Come From?
As with most things, it starts with the Government who create a budget for spending, giving pots of money for key services like the NHS, transport, health care and (most importantly in our opinion) education which is given to the Department for Education to control.
Our courses are from the ASF (Adult Skills Fund).
How Does Funding For Education Work?
Our courses are from the ASF (Adult Skills Fund). It’s a government-funded programme that can be accessed by employers and individuals to fund a huge range of training.
It’s a great resource for employers to upskill their workforce and support staff with their career progression. The problem is, not many people know about it.
