Government-Funded Qualifications
Eligible adult learners living in England can access fully funded accredited training through government-backed initiatives, including the Adult Education Budget (AEB) and the Free Courses for Jobs scheme.
How does government funding work?
UK government funding is designed to upskill adults in vital sectors including adult social care, education, and early years nurseries. If you meet residency and eligibility thresholds, the government covers 100% of your course fees — you pay zero tuition.
Access free funding routes through AEB (Adult Education Budget) and NSF (National Skills Fund), or 18-month employer apprenticeships. Alternatively, spread course costs over 12 months with 0% interest.
