Money Matters - Level 2 Offer

The South East region of the country is one of the trial areas for the government's new policy to help adults without a level 2 (less than 5 GCSE's Grade C) qualification to gain higher level skills.

The 'Offer' is made up of two parts:

• Free tuition for a full level 2 (less than 5 GCSE's Grade C) qualification
• Eligibility for the means tested Adult Learning Grant

Fees (or part of) will be paid for adults aged 19 or over studying for their first level 2 (less than 5 GCSE's Grade C) qualification or in some cases their first level 3 (i.e. 2 A levels) award.

The Adult Learning Grant (ALG) can provide up to £30 a week for any adult studying a level 2 (less than 5 GCSE's Grade C) course and for 19-30 year olds studying for a first level 3 (i.e. 2 A levels) qualification. Students must be resident in England and studying for 12 or more hours a week (a full-time course). The ALG is a means tested grant and applicants must not be receiving any other government support such as Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA), New Deal, or income related benefits.

For more information about this new initiative, and advice about how to apply, please arrange to speak to your local Nextstep Advisor by ringing Freephone 0800 028 4490.
