Update
Learner Eligibility and Contribution Rules
The Learner Eligibility and Contribution Rules document details which individuals can be funded by the Skills Funding Agency and the level of subsidy that they can receive to help pay for the costs of learning. The document replaces previous guidance issued jointly with the Young People’s Learning Agency in 2010/11 and by the Learning and Skills Council. It includes a revised version of the Full and Part Learner Subsidies table, which has now been updated to include Progression Funding, as described in Guidance Note 7.
The document is important to those colleges and training organisations that recruit learners who will be funded by the Agency. This includes mainstream provision such as Adult Skills (previously known as Adult Learner Responsive and Train to Gain), Apprenticeships, the Joint Investment Programme, European Social Funded activity and Adult Safeguarded Learning.
