Adult Education Budget

The Adult Education Budget is a fully funded programme provided by the government that is accessible to employers and individuals, funding a huge range of training. This programme is a great opportunity for employers to upskill their workforce and for individuals to kick-start their careers free of charge. The Adult Education Budget has some eligibility regulations that need to be met in order for an individual to commence training.

Who is eligible for the Adult Education Budget?

In order to be eligible to commence training within the Adult Education Budget, you must be within the following requirements:

• An individual aged 19 to 23 can achieve a level 2 or 3 qualification if they don't have one
• AEB can be used to fund low-waged individuals (less than £21,575 gross annual salary) aged over 24 to get their first level 2 or 3 qualification
