Details

Before applying for an advanced learner loan, learners must engage with a college or training organisation to establish the availability of a place on an appropriate course.

The learning and funding information letter is an essential stage in the learner journey for prospective learners over the age of 19, who are considering investing in further education with an advanced learner loan. Colleges and training organisations should issue the letter as part of their discussion with learners when they are considering their funding options.

The template contains all the data information required by a learner to complete an advanced learner loan application. The information on the templates is consistent with the application forms and is in the same order.
