goldypurple Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I have seen on some other forums that it may be possible to get a grant to help or if not fully pay for dsc1 course in the uk. Does anyone have any information on this? Many thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) current info... Individual Learning Accounts, England In October 2001 the English Government announced that the English Individual Learning Accounts would be discontinued after little more than a year in existence amidst extensive allegations of fraud within the program, and its predominant use by those individuals already well qualified and skilled. Government officials claimed a new, revamped scheme would be developed for to replace the Individual Learning Accounts programme. The programme officially closed November 23rd, 2001. In July 2003 Labour skills strategy White Paper released Realising Our Potential, proposing that rather than replicate the former Individual Learning Accounts scheme, new Level 2 entitlement would provide an inducement to learning for those individuals who would not have otherwise considered further developing their skills. For those within a certain income bracket there would be entitlement to free level 2 tuition, as well as an entitlement for free level 3 tuition in regions or industrial sections with skills shortages. The scheme was also planned to provide a £30 a week maintenance grant to support adults without level 2 qualifications and people aged 19-30 without level 3 qualifications. There would also be new safeguards against fraud within the scheme. However, no replacement for England's ILA programme has been officially reinstated.
