Details

This guidance is for education providers who are interested in delivering modular provision funded by the lifelong learning entitlement (LLE).

It explains how you will be able to express your interest in delivering LLE-funded modules.

This guidance is for the second round of approvals. You will be able to submit your expression of interest from October 2026.

You will only need to complete the supporting evidence workbook if you apply through the alternative entry mechanism route.

We have published details of the successful applicants for round 1 of the funding. The application process for that round ran from July to October 2025.
