Qualification Funding

At CPCAB, we understand that navigating available funding streams can be complex and ever-changing. This Guide to Funding for CPCAB Centres has been developed to support our approved centres in exploring the funding opportunities that may be available to them and their learners.

Inside, you’ll find an overview of key funding routes, from national schemes such as the Adult Education Budget/Adult Skills Fund and Advanced Learner Loans, to devolved authority funding, support for learners with additional needs, and charitable or trust-based grants. The guide outlines the main funding types, eligibility considerations, and where to look for further information. While CPCAB does not provide or manage funding directly, this guide aims to serve as a helpful navigation tool, offering clarity and direction as you consider the options most relevant to your delivery.

Please note that funding policies and application processes can change. Although we aim to keep this guide up to date, we recommend always checking with the appropriate agencies or funding bodies for the latest information.

We hope this guide gives you greater confidence in understanding and exploring funding possibilities to support your learners.
