Funding Guide

Unemployed candidates and Job Centre funding

Unemployed candidates are entitled to funding for our training courses through the Job Centre. Several of our previous trainees have had the full cost of their training met via employment services and agencies such as Reed In Partnership.

Useful information can be obtained from:
 
You may find that the Job Centre would rather put you on a unrelated course which is based locally, however it is worth persisting.

There is great demand for Service Engineers from companies like British Gas, Comet, Service Force etc. but the industry prefers candidates with some training to build on.



Other Funding Options

New Deal - New Deal is a key part of the Government's strategy to get people back to work. It gives people on benefits the help and support they need to look for work, including training and job preparation. Visit www.newdeal.gov.uk.

LSC - The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) is responsible for funding and planning education and training for over 16-year-olds in England. Visit www.lsc.gov.uk to find details of your local LSC.

 


Career Development Loan (CDL) - A career Development Loan is a deferred repayment bank loan to help you pay for vocational education, learning and training. Dixon Training are registered to accept CDL funding for their courses. Anyone who is employed, self-employed, unemployed (registered or none registered), student or simply those returning to work after a period of unemployment can take advantage of a Career Delevopment Loan. We can supply you with a guide leaflet or a full information pack with application form if required (simply request CDL info when you contact us). Alternatively you can go to: www.lifelonglearning.dfes.gov.uk/cdl.

Redundancy - If you have recently been made redundant, large firms will often provide assistance with re-training in addition to redundancy payments. It is always worth enquiring if funding is available as it is not always made explicit to those being made redundant.
