Advanced Learner Loan
What you'll get
How much you get depends on:
- the type of course
- your course fees
- the maximum loan available for your course
It only covers your course fees, not your living costs. The minimum loan you can get is 拢300 and it鈥檚 paid directly to your college or training provider.
You do not have to borrow the full cost of your course - you can pay for some of it yourself.
Number of loans you can get
You can apply for up to 4 loans and you can get more than one at the same time.
You can apply for another loan to take the same level of a course, for example the same level qualification in History if you鈥檝e already had a loan for the same level in Maths.
You can only apply once for an Access to Higher Education course.
A levels
You can apply for a loan to fund each course you take towards your A levels - up to a maximum of 4 A levels.
This means you can have up to 8 loans if you鈥檙e taking each A level as 2 separate courses.
The courses must be in the same subject to qualify for a full A level.
You can get 3 more loans for non A level courses either before or after your course of A levels.
