Our offer is also available to adults in living in Greater London who earn less than the London Living Wage (£25,642.50) 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.
