Learners applying for one of the flexible short courses, due to start from September, who are worried they may struggle with study costs can apply for the targeted bursary funding.
More than 100 flexible short courses trials are being delivered by 22 universities and colleges across England from the next academic term. It forms part of the Government’s pledge to offer adults the chance to retrain and gain ‘in-demand’ skills, opening up further job opportunities.

The fund is £2.5m over 3 years to be administered by the Office for Students to providers with guidance.
