ITA Funding: CURRENTLY CLOSED BY SKILLS DEVELOPMENT SCOTLAND
Our courses are eligible for Individual Training Account government funding. Eligible students will get up t0 £200 per year towards a single course or training episode. This is a grant and not a loan so this £200 towards your course does not have to be paid back. If your chosen course is over £200 you will only have to pay the difference.
To be eligible for ITA funding you need to meet the following;
- aged 16 or over
- resident in Scotland
- unemployed and looking to get back into work
- not in education or involved in any other SDS-funded programme
You can also apply if you are working and:
- earn £22,000 or less
- want to upskill or reskill for your present job or a new one
Klarna:
We accept Klarna as payment for all of our courses. This allows students to book now and pay later, either in 30 days or split the cost interest-free over three monthly payments.
- Pay in Three – Spread the cost of your course into 3 interest-free instalments. The first payment is made at time of booking, with remaining instalments scheduled automatically every 30 days.
Pay in 30 days – Make your course today so you can try before you buy. Only pay for what you keep. Pay up to 30 days later. No interest. No fees.
Klarna‘s Pay in 3 / Pay in 30 days are unregulated credit agreements. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. 18+, UK residents only. Subject to status. Late fees may apply. Ts&Cs apply.https://
