We use government funding to provide you with the opportunity to study a variety of qualifications at no cost.
Our free online and in-person qualifications are funded through the Adult Education Budget (AEB), providing learners across England with the opportunity to develop valuable skills and enhance their career prospects.
The Adult Education Budget (AEB) is a government funding initiative that supports individuals and employers in accessing a wide range of education and training opportunities.
This funding is designed to help adults in the UK gain new skills, improve employability, advance their careers, or progress into further education.
AEB funding is distributed across England through both national and regional authorities. Accredited training providers and colleges utilise this funding to offer free courses, enabling individuals to gain industry-relevant qualifications at no cost.
We provide access to a wide range of fully funded courses, allowing learners to upskill and achieve recognised qualifications.
