Adult Skills Fund

If you’re looking to get into work, gain your first qualification or retrain for a new career, there are funded courses to help you take the next step.

We offer flexible courses designed to fit around your life – whether that’s online, in the classroom, or alongside work. You can improve your essential skills in English, maths, and digital, or develop new skills and qualifications to move forward.

With clear pathways into employment, you can build the skills, confidence and qualifications you need to find the right job for you and progress in your career. Or perhaps you’re thinking about a career change? We can help you retrain and gain the skills needed to move into a new role or sector.

Our support is delivered by a range of local councils, colleges, and independent training providers, so there are a wide range of opportunities to choose from. You can explore the qualifications available below. Please contact your local provider directly to find out more.

Please note that these lists are valid until 31 July 2026.
