24+ Loans for Employers

Research shows that on average further education courses give learners and employers substantial benefits when they undertake advanced and higher level qualifications. It is also in the interest of employers to support their employees, as they benefit from more skilled and productive staff. From August 2013 loans are being introduced to support students aged 24 and over to take advanced and higher level courses in further education colleges. This covers all provision at level 3 or above including Advanced and Higher Apprenticeship frameworks.

Employers can now apply for loans to support their training needs which can free up your staff development budgets whilst still allow staff to undertake appropriate training.
