Government funding

[gasmanrob]

Anyone know how to or if you can gain access to government funding for Trade related qualifications. Ordinarily you'd either save up or your employer would provide training but I'm in neither position but want to enhance my skill set/employability/wages and knowledge whilst also getting a crack at some better projects etc

im guessing being part of a training provider Ray would be able to advise but anyone else in the know feel free to advise

Sorry Rob, we sold our shareholding in the training company over a year ago now, and I never had any day to day involvement in the management, so I can't help at all.

think you wil find that secondary training is all down to you personally, no funding for that anywhere

Find a manufacturer who will pay or subsidise it for you.
12 years ago, trainco aid for my OFTEC . Including accommodation.
No wonder they went int administration!

Have seen I could get a professional carrer development loan but I'd need to find a listed provider and get it from a commercial bank. But the computer wouldn't just say no it would implode.

I love training and development, just had to bite the bullet most times and fork out for it myself.

You can get 24+ loans for level 3/4 courses. You don't pay anything back until you start to earn £21k+

You can only do 1 level 3 course but you can then get another loan to do a level 4 course.

This is only what I've read. Don't know about any free money but if anyone knows then I'll be up for it!

Good luck
