Learning aims up to and including level 2, they would be fully funded if:
218.1. they are unemployed, as set out in paragraph 120
- For funding purposes, we define a learner as unemployed if one or more of the following apply, they:

120.2. receive Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
120.3. receive Universal Credit, and their take-home pay as recorded on their Universal Credit statement (disregarding Universal Credit payments and other benefits) is less than £345 a month (learner is sole adult in their benefit claim) or £552 a month (learner has a joint benefit claim with their partner)
120.4. are released on temporary licence, studying outside a prison environment, and not funded by the Ministry of Justice
- Providers may also use their discretion to fully fund other learners if both of the following apply. The learner:
121.1. receives other state benefits (not listed in paragraph 120) and their take-home pay (disregarding Universal Credit payments and other benefits) is less than £345 a month (learner is sole adult in their benefit claim) or £552 a month (learner has a joint benefit claim with their partner), and
121.2. wants to be employed, or progress into more sustainable employment, and their take-home pay (disregarding Universal Credit payments and other benefits) is less than £345 a month (learner is sole adult in their benefit claim) or £552 a month (learner has a joint benefit claim with their partner), and you are satisfied identified learning is directly relevant to their employment prospects and the local labour market needs
