We provide flexible funding options to make training accessible for both individuals and employers. Affordable instalment plans are also available to help spread the cost when paying in full.

Advanced Learner Loan: Available to individuals aged 19 and over, this loan helps cover course fees for approved qualifications, including our Level 5 Diplomas. The loan is not income-dependent, does not require credit checks, and repayments only start once your income exceeds £27,295 per year.

Learning and Development Support Scheme (LDSS): Designed for employers in adult social care, this scheme supports the training of non-regulated care staff, including deputy and CQC-registered managers. Eligible employers in England can claim reimbursement for training costs incurred between 1st April 2025 and 31st March 2026, making it easier to invest in staff development.
