Funding and eligibility

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.

  • You are aged 19 or over
  • You are resident in the UK and can provide evidence of this
  • You are not resident on a Skilled Worker or other sponsored visa — Learning Curve Group does not accept learners on those visas under this route
  • You are not currently on an apprenticeship

Final funding eligibility is determined through Learning Curve Group's Pre-Check and can vary by your circumstances, where you live, the funding route and provider availability. UK Learning Gateway does not override the provider's decision.

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