Jim Thomas
Self-funded learning and apprenticeships
Created
We have a potential apprentice who is currently finishing a part-time masters from last year for which she was receiving student finance.
She is trying to change this to be self-funded so she can finish this whilst starting the apprenticeship – is there any guidance around this? What evidence is required to confirm that two courses are not being funded at the same time (normally we simply get a declaration from the learners)?
Can this switch be done, or will it be necessary to delay the apprenticeship enrolment until the current course is complete? This is being done evenings / weekends, rather than work time.
