Level 4 - Funding your Training

You may be able to source funding for your Diploma course. Do not hesitate to provide our contact details to organisations from whom you are seeking funding and we will help as far as we are able.

You can apply for an Advanced Learner Loan for course fees if you are 19 or older and have been resident in the UK for 3 years.

The Advanced Learner Loan is a government-funded loan to help learners. It’s easy to apply for, doesn’t take your household income into account and doesn’t involve a credit check.

Further information can be found at https://www.gov.uk/advanced-learner-loan

Here are some key facts about the loan:

  • Repayments are linked to what you earn and not how much you borrowed.
  • You only start making repayments from the April following the end of your course and when you are earning over £25,000 a year (includes income from ALL work that you do). Until then you don’t need to pay back anything, but you can make voluntary repayments at any time.

You can check your eligibility here: https://www.gov.uk/advanced-learner-loan/eligibility

Further details are available on the .gov website  https://www.gov.uk/repaying-your-student-loan/what-you-pay

  • Your annual repayment amount will be 9% of the money you earn over the threshold limit, before tax.
  • Interest is charged on a sliding scale between the Retail Price Index (RPI) and RPI +3%, depending on how much you earn.

Loans are not means tested (or subject to credit checks) and current employment status is not considered. Partial loans are also available. You can take out up to 4 Advanced Learner Loans so they can cover our Level 4 and both Level 3 Diplomas.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If you are a funeral celebrant and are considering at some point taking the Level 4 Diploma in Advanced Practice Funeral Celebrancy using an Advanced Learner Loan…do it sooner rather than later!

A new government scheme is altering funding for level 4 courses and from 1st January 2027 there will no longer be Advanced Learner Loans funding for the Level 4 Diploma course.

Note – the change does not apply to Level 3 courses so if you are considering taking a second level 3 course, such as the Diploma in Celebrancy for Naming and Couples, then Advanced Learner Loans will still be available. You can take out up to 4 Advanced Learner Loans at any one time.

If you have thought about taking the Level 4 Advanced Practice Funeral Celebrancy Diploma course, then do ask us for a brochure if you want to take advantage of the Advanced Learner Loans, while they are still there.
