  1. We have updated the ESFA Skills Bootcamp guidance. We have added information throughout for the new Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) Skills Bootcamps. See the ‘HGV Skills Bootcamps information’ section for more information. HGV Skills Bootcamps payment details are in a separate section because they are funded differently to all other Skills Bootcamps. We have made it clear in each section of this document whether it applies to HGVs or all other Skills Bootcamps.
