Learner support funds

Learner support funding is available through the Adult Skills Fund (ASF), managed by the Greater London Authority (GLA). It helps eligible learners on some accredited courses with essential costs. Eligibility will be discussed at your interview, but it’s usually available to people who are unemployed and looking for work, or those on a low income.

What costs can be claimed?

• Course fees (up to 20%, but only in exceptional circumstances)
• Course books
• Travel costs
• Essential equipment or materials required for the course.
• Registration fees (for professional bodies).

Receipts will be required for proof of purchases.

How to apply?

Before you can apply for Learner Support Funding, you must attend an interview and enrol on your course.

Further information and application forms are available in reception.
