Hi

Would a learner who has resided within the UK for 3 years or more and is on a skills visa "Graduate Leave to Remain,"  Visa covers duration of course,  be eligible for funding through the Adult Skills Funds?

So, for ASF this is fine and, if anything, likely to be more fine once they publish the updated rules for 25/26.

The App Rules claim (incorrectly, in my opinion, because I have read Shah vs Barnet) that study visa time doesn't count towards Ordinarily Resident but that's not mentioned in the ASF Rules.
