Advanced Learner Loan

Many of our adult learners pay for their Level 3 and above courses with an Advanced Learner Loan. If a loan is available this is indicated in the course details. It’s easy to apply, your household income isn’t considered and there are no credit checks. You only need to start paying back your Advanced Learner Loan when you are earning more than £25,000 per year.
