Free Courses for Jobs
If you are aged 19 or over you could get a fully funded Level 3 qualification through the Free Courses for Jobs. Our offer is also available to adults living in Greater London who earn less than the London Living Wage or who are unemployed. This is regardless of your prior qualification level.
This offer is part of the Government’s long-term commitment to help everyone gain skills for life. Short or online courses are also available to support adults to get the skills they need to boost their careers.
The eligible courses offer progression within specific industries and address skills required for the local and national labour markets. By boosting the supply of skills that employers require, we are able to offer a range of courses to any adult meeting the eligibility criteria and living in London.
