Most courses will charge fees. For further education you may not have to pay fees if you receive Employment and Support Allowance and are in the 'work-related activity' group.
For access to higher education diplomas, there are loans available to people over 24 years old. These are called 24+ Advance Learning Loans.
Talk to your local college for further advice about funding a course you’re interested in.
