Can you get funding for online access course?

Can you get funding for online access courses by the government? Like would it be advanced learner loan?? How would I go about this? Or have any of you self funded your online access courses? Thanks

I'm sure you have to fund online courses however Highbury online mentions Advanced learner loans to cover the cost? I decided to apply for actual college so didn't delve further but may be worth looking into/enquiring? I haven't seen much information or reviews about the courses though?

I've taught on Access to HE for over 10 years but that is on an on site course.

I believe you can use your Advanced Learner Loan for an online version of the course, as a lot of colleges are now offering both an onsite and online version of their course. If you are between 19-22* and you haven't used up your level 3 entitlement yet then the course should be free, 23+ you need to apply for the advanced learner loan.

Hi, Emma

I am currently on an online access course funded by an advanced learner loan. I applied for the course and they put me through the steps needed to complete the application.

When i was accepted on the course and given a start date I was directed to this website for the application.
