Continuing Year of Learning

If you have been supported for the first year of your course using an ILA Wales, you could be considered for funding for a further year to help you complete that course. Please ask your registered learning provider for details on supporting a continuing year of learning.

Please note: If you did not use an ILA Wales for the first year of your course, you will not be able to access ILA Wales funding to support a continuing year of that course.
