Funded health and social care qualifications for adults from the leading sector expert
We’re the leading sector specialist offering a comprehensive portfolio of funded health and social care qualifications
Equip adult learners with the knowledge and skills they need to take the next step in their career or transition into the sector with our Adult Education Budget (AEB) funding eligible qualifications.
Colleges, independent training providers and local authorities can deliver these funded qualifications, providing learning opportunities across regions and communities. After completing AEB funded qualifications, adult learners should be able to progress into work or sign up to an apprenticeship.
We’ve enrolled over one million adults onto AEB funded qualifications since academic year 2017/18. It’s a great way for adults to gain the skills they need to progress at work, without using up your organisation’s vital funds.
