Funding

We’re developing fundable training programmes with providers that will help to both upskill and reskill those looking for work, and support national and regional recovery plans.  

Funding streams include the European Social Fund (ESF) and Adult Education Budget (AEB). And we’re helping providers understand the complex funding landscape as well as providing hundreds of fundable qualifications and units for learner registration.  

AEB devolution 

• Several Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCA) in England now make decisions about some aspects of adult education. We can help you address your region’s skills gap and improve your delivery.  
• Even if you’re not in a devolved area, we have lots of short, flexible and fundable qualifications that cover various sectors.  
• You can find out if a qualification is eligible for funding through the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) website which has the most up-to-date information available.
