Eligibilty

Whether a learner can qualify for an Advanced Learner Loan depends on their: 

   course 

   age (19 or older on the first day of your course)

   nationality and residency status

Your course must be:

   a Level 3, 4, 5 or 6 qualification

The Student Loans Company have created an eligibility tool for learners considering an Advanced Learner Loan.

How to Apply

    Check with us that the course qualifies.

   Ask us for a ‘Learning and funding information’ letter – you need this to complete the application. It contains the details about your course.

   Apply online – you’ll need to register first. You can apply by post if you cannot apply online.

   You’ll get a letter confirming your loan – usually within 2 weeks if you apply online (postal applications take longer).

Repayment

You’ll have to start repaying your loan when your income is over a certain amount (the ‘threshold’ amount).

You’ll be charged interest from the day you get the first payment.
