Are you looking to progress in your career and want to obtain a social care diploma qualification at level 3 or 4? Or perhaps you are already a registered care manager, deputy manager or aspiring to be, and are still to obtain your level 5 Diploma?

Access Skills can offer care training funding for Level 3, 4 and 5 Diploma qualifications to help you achieve your career goals.

Advanced Learner Loans

If you are interested in undertaking a Level 3, 4 or 5 Diploma we can also provide you with access to Advanced Learner Loans. If you are 19 or over when your course starts and have lived in the UK for at least 3 years you could be entitled to an Advanced Learner Loan. This government funded scheme pays your Access Skills course fees for you so you can start your programme immediately.

There are no credit checks and your income is not assessed when you apply for the loan. You are not required to make any repayments of the loan until you are earning over £27,295 per annum. Where repayment occurs, you start to repay in April of the year after your course is completed, but only if you are earning more than £27,295pa at that time. If your earnings are below this, then you are not required to repay anything until earning more than £27,295pa.

If earning more than £27,295pa then repayments once the course is completed are calculated at 9% of the income earned above this sum i.e. if earning £29,000pa repayment would only be £12.77pcm.

If you work for a registered care provider and are serious about developing yourself and your career by gaining a Level 3, 4 or 5 Diploma, then Access Skills is the perfect choice to support you in working towards and achieving your qualification.

New care training funding launched replacing the Workforce Development Fund

The new care training funding for adult social care employee development was launched in September 2024. Access Skills supports care providers with affordable, flexible care qualification and course options through the LDSS scheme.

Eligible adult social care employers in England can claim care training funding from the Adult Social Care Learning and Development Support Scheme (LDSS). The LDSS is available for non-regulated care staff, including Deputy and Care Quality Commission-registered managers and agency staff, within the adult social care workforce.

Eligible Adult Social Care (ASC) employers can claim care training funding for courses and qualifications on behalf of eligible care staff. This funding is for eligible care courses and qualifications that have been paid for and started between 1st April 2025 and 31st March 2026.

Examples of the care training funding available includes employers now able to receive £835 funding for level 3 Diploma in Adult Care or £1565 for the level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management for Adult Care. In addition, there is up to £1540 available for the new Level 2 Adult Social Care Certificate.

ASC employers will be provided with access to the service in stages. ASC employers can express their interest in being invited to use the service by completing this form. After expressing interest via this form ASC employers will be contacted by NHS Business Service Authority to start the onboarding process.

Please contact us at Access Skills on 0121 510 2169 (option 1) or info@accessskills.co.uk if you would like to know more information about this funding and how it can help support the cost of qualifications and training you wish to include in your development plans for your staff.
