Professional and Career Development Loans
Professional and Career Development Loans are bank loans that can be used to help pay for work related learning. You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 to help support the cost of up to two years of learning (or three years if it includes one year’s relevant unpaid practical work). The Learning and Skills Council will pay the interest on the loan while you are learning and for one month afterwards. The loan can be used to pay course fees or other costs such as travel and living expenses. You can also use the loan to supplement other forms of support such as grants or bursaries. Because the Professional and Career Development Loan is a commercial loan product, they should only be considered as an option once all other student funding options have been investigated. For further information on financial assistance to support your learning, please visit:
www.direct.gov.uk/adultlearning or contact Careers Advice on 0800 100 900.
Our learning provider registration number is: 20174.
Business Link North West
Funding from the Northwest Regional Development Agency and the Learning and Skills Council to support the purchase of training or development opportunities for companies in the North West. Each applicant/manager must be willing to undertake an initial diagnostic assessment, to complete a Personal Development Plan and an Application for Funding Document. This funding does require a financial contribution from the employer and this is approximately 1/3 of the total cost of the training. E.g. for a single manager to receive the maximum £1000 grant then the employer must contribute £500 towards the total of the £1500 training cost.
