Funding & Finances Information

There are many different avenues through which funding can be sought. However these are ever changing. There are also several criteria to be considered, e.g. your age, length of programme, number of qualifications within a framework.

Funding routes may be available so please enquire to info@alphatraining.org.uk or call the Alpha Training Office to speak to someone (contact details can be found under 'our centre').

We believe that it is essential for learners to have a range of progression routes from our qualifications. For some learners this will be straight into employment and a career, for others there is the opportunity for progression to a university degree.

All of these progression routes demonstrate the relevance of the learning we offer at Alpha Training and we always wish for learners to go onto achieve more in the future.

Below are a few links to Institutes of Higher Education:

• Anglia Ruskin University

• University of East London

• University of Greenwich

• Brunel University

• Open University
