FAQ
What are the key facts?
- Repayments are linked to what you earn and not how much you borrowed.
- You pay back your loan (plus interest) when you finish your course and earn more than £25,000 a year. Your repayments will stop if your income drops below £25,000 a year.
- Your annual repayment amount will be 9% of any income you earn over £25,000, so your monthly repayments would be:
- £15 a month – if you earned £27,000 a year.
- £37 a month – if you earned £30,000 a year.
Am I eligible?
If you are aged 19 or over and want to study A Levels, an Access to Higher Education Diploma, or a Level 3 to 6 Vocational Qualification, you will need to pay the cost of your course.

Is there anything else I should know?
- You will not be eligible for a loan if you have already taken one to complete the same type and level of qualification.
- If you are aged 19-23 and are applying for your first Level 3 qualification, this may be free. Please contact us to check your eligibility.
- If you are taking out a loan for an Access course, you will not have to repay it if you then go on to complete a Higher Education qualification.
- Loans are available irrespective of your current employment status and will not be means tested or subject to any credit checks.
