What is the 19+ Advanced Learner Loan?
An Advanced Learner Loan is a government loan that students may be able to take advantage of to help assist them with the cost of studying an eligible course at a college in England.

Level 3 Adult Award in Education & Training
Our Access to Higher Education courses are one year long and designed as a stepping stone to a Degree Level course (either with us or at university).
Our Access courses have outstanding success rates and are highly respected by universities, both locally and nationally. They enable you to progress to a degree course, something many adults feel they’ve left too late. It’s never too late! If you’re looking to change careers, but you need a degree to reach your dream role, an Access course helps you get back into education and achieve your goals.
Formal qualifications or experience are not required to study an Access course with us, however many university degree courses will require GCSE Maths and English at grade 4 or above, in addition to the Access Diploma. You can gain these qualifications with us at East Sussex College (for free!) prior to enrolling on an Access course.
