Pay using a 19+ Loan

What is a 19+ Advanced Learner Loan?

The Government has introduced 19+ Advanced Learner Loans to help learners, aged 19 and over, in further education pay the college or training organisation fee. Getting a Loan doesn’t depend on your household income and there’s no credit check. You won’t have to pay anything back until you’re earning over £21,000 a year. Once you earn over this amount you pay back 9% of the earnings you receive above this figure.

Total Loan Amount: £0.00

What are my repayments likely to be?

That depends on how much you earn, click on the link to the repayment calculator below to see how monthly payments relate to earnings.

Loan repayments only start when you are earning OVER £21,000 per year.

REMEMBER: loan repayments only start when you are earning over £21,000 per year.

What if I never earn more than £21,000 per annum?

Currently if you do not exceed an annual salary of more than £21,000 your loan will never be repaid.

Repayments won’t start for any course until April 2016, but you can make voluntary repayments before then.

Can the 19+ Advanced Learner Loan be written off or cancelled?

Normally any outstanding loan you have will be written off 30 years after it becomes eligible to be repaid.

If you receive a disability-related benefit and are permanently unfit for work, it will be cancelled.

In addition, if you’re undertaking an Access to HE Diploma and then go on to complete an HE qualification the outstanding balance of your 19+ Advanced Learner Loan will be written off. To qualify for this write off you must have fully completed both courses. You do not need to take out a loan for the HE course. However, it must be eligible for funding by Student Finance England. The HE course does not have to relate to the Access to HE course you complete.

Who is eligible for a 19+ Advanced Learner Loan?

To be eligible for the loan you must be:

19 or older on the first day of your course (there’s no upper age limit)
living in the UK on the first day of your course, and have lived in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man for 3 years immediately before this starting your course on or after 1 August 2013

Is there an upper age limit?

There is no upper age limit in order to apply for a 19+ Advanced Learner Loan.

Is there a maximum amount of Loan available?

The course fees of the Stonebridge courses eligible for the 19+ Advanced Learner Loans can be entirely covered by the loan amount you are able to take out.

Who is providing my Course with the 19+ Advanced Learner Loan?

Dimensions Training Solutions, an established training provider with accountability to the Skills Funding Agency and Ofsted.

What difference does the funding make to my course?

There are some differences when you apply for, and receive a 19+ Advanced Learner Loan

A Student Support Officer (SSO) will be assigned to you, so you have a single point of contact to help you stay on course.

Is 19+ Advanced Learner Loan available to students with existing qualifications?
