Bootcamp Eligibility

None

Hi 

Do Bootcamp learner have to also meet the 3 year residency to be eligible and if so where is this written?

ie we have 2 UK nationals who have been away from the UK for a few years,  but have not been back in the country for 3 years

thanks

Hi, when we had our bootcamp funding in London, we were told that while the funding was via the GLA, the national 3-year residency applied (even after the DFE removed this requirement from the ASF rules, it was still mandatory).

Hi Kelly thanks for your reply...interesting

I have contacted DfE and they have had to escalate this, ridiculous really as it should be in  a guidance document somewhere - I did ask if the same rule as for apprenticeships applied, ie

"Learners who are temporarily outside of the UK for reasons such as education, employment or a gap year, should be considered ordinarily resident in the UK for the purposes of assessing eligibility for apprenticeship funding upon their return to the UK" and still have no reply

Have also asked our Bootcamp funder and waiting to hear from them too.
