Student Loans: Advanced Learning Loans

STUDENT LOANS
ENGLISH, MATHS AND ESOL

If you are aged 19 or over at the start of your course, you are studying an eligible
course at Level 3 or above, and you have UK residency, then you are likely to
qualify for a Government loan to help pay for your course fees.
The Advanced Learning Loans have been introduced by the Government to support
learners in further education in a similar way to university loans for higher education
learners. Your household income isnt taken into account, theres no credit check and you
wont pay anything back until youve completed your course and you are earning over
21,000 per year.
You can take out a loan for the entire cost of your course or you can pay some of it yourself
and take out a loan for the rest of the fee, subject to a minimum loan of 300.
Courses that qualify for loan funding are identified in the course guide together with the fee
payable. The College does not receive any other funding for these learners and so the full
cost of the course has to be covered through the loan or directly by you.
The loans are administered by Student Finance England (a Student Loans Company
service) on behalf of the UK Government and you can find out more information from the
Government website at www.gov.uk/advanced-learning-loans.
More information about Advanced Learning Loans, how they work and how to apply is also
available by talking to a member of the Learner Services Team but please note that College
staff cannot advise you whether or not a loan is right for you or whether to take out a loan.
You should consider all your options for funding your course and should also consider taking
independent financial advice through the Money Advice Service. Visit their website at www.
moneyadviceservice.org.uk.
If you are in receipt of an Advanced Learning Loan, there is also a bursary fund at the College
to which you can apply for support with other costs such as travel, materials or childcare
while you study. Please ask a member of our Learner Services Team for more information.
