The expansion of eligibility for the Free Courses for Jobs offer, means that adults without a Level 3 qualification will be able to gain a free level 3 qualification from a wide range of courses with good wage outcomes and the ability to meet key skills needs. Tens of thousands of adults across England have taken advantage of this important offer.
From 1 April 2022, any adult in England earning less than the National Living Wage annual rate (£20,319 in FY2022-23) or who is unemployed can access these free qualifications, even if they already have a Level 3 qualification or higher.
With the expansion of eligibility for these qualifications, the lowest-paid adults will have access to significant opportunities to upskill or retrain so that they can find better jobs, improve their wages, and increase their chances of finding employment. You can find further information on financial support and fees.
