Individual Learning Accounts (ILA) Funding

On the 13th December 2004, ILA Scotland launched a new way to help with the cost of learning.  £200 per year will be provided towards the cost of learning if you earn £18,000 or less per year. From the 8th August £100 is available is you are earning more than £18,000 per year

The learning offer includes the attainment of an accredited qualification for computer courses. Courses such as machine knitting and some design courses do not necessarily have a qualification but are eligible courses.
