Learning for Everyone L4E Autumn/Winter 2016 | Page 6

ns Loa Advanced Learner Advanced learner loans are available for anyone 19+ and over and are designed to support you studying certain qualifications at level 3, 4, 5 and 6. We can advise you as to which qualifications are available. Learning loans are similar to the loan you would take out for a University Degree and similar rules apply about when and how you pay it back. Will I be eligible for a loan? Most people over 19 will be eligible for a loan even if you already have a student loan for a degree. Your household income will not be taken into account, nor is there a credit check to complete. You will begin paying back your loan once you are earning £21,000.
