Have you heard about the 24+ Advanced Learning Loan?
From 1st August 2013, if you are aged 24 or over and want to study A levels, an Access to Higher Education
Diploma, a level 3 or 4 Certificate or Diploma, or an Advanced or Higher Apprenticeship, you will need to pay
your college or training organisation for the cost of your course.

A new loan scheme has been introduced by the government to help learners. The 24+ Advanced Learning
Loan is easy to apply for, doesn’t take your household income into account and doesn’t involve a credit check.

Here are some of the key facts about the loan:
Repayments are linked to what you earn and not how much you borrowed.
You only have to start making repayments when you’ve finished your course and you’re earning over £21,000 a year (which is £404 a week or £1,750 a month). Until then you don’t need to pay back anything, but you can make voluntary repayments at any time.
You pay 9% of the money you earn over £21,000, before tax. For example, if you earn £22,000 a year, your monthly repayment will be £7 a month; and if you earn £35,000 a year, it will be £105 per month.
Interest is charged on a sliding scale between the Retail Price Index (RPI) and RPI +3%, depending on how much you earn.

You may have read in the press about a proposal by Norfolk County Council to transfer Adult Education courses to the four Further Education colleges in Norfolk.

We felt it was important to let you know that nothing has been decided. If you are currently learning with us please be assured that your course will continue in the usual way and will not be impacted by this proposal.
