Access to HE funding

Hi all,

I’m a “mature” learner and hoping to one day become an OT

I’ve just started my access to HE through Learndirect, I’m working full time, is there any help with funding the course? I’m currently having to take the finance route!

Much love xx

Thanks, this kind of course may attract an Advanced Leaner Loan: this is a loan that covers the fees of access courses, or courses of a similar level.

We'd suggest asking learndirect if your particular course is eligible for this loan. If they confirm you can then apply to us online using the link below.

Thanks, Graeme
