Learning Curve Group has given UK Learning Gateway this baseline for Level 2 Flexible Learning learners. It is a starting point only — the provider's Pre-Check makes the final decision.

Availability and funding can depend on where you live. The provider's Pre-Check will confirm the options available for your postcode.
