If you’re aged 19 or over, you could access a level 3 qualification for free.

A level 3 qualification is equivalent to an advanced technical certificate or diploma, or A levels. If you’re eligible, you will not have to pay course fees.  You will only pay a £30 college membership fee.

Courses link to a large range of sectors, including accounting, health and social care, education, early years, management and more. Gaining a level 3 qualification could boost your income by 16% and help you stand out to employers.
