Personal Learning Account

Personal Learning Accounts provide a flexible and fully funded learning entitlement to support employed individuals earning under the median income of £32,371 as well as those whose jobs are at risk. The courses are available across Wales through 13 Welsh colleges and are specifically designed to address vocational training in sectors where there is a skills shortage to ensure the future needs of the economy are met. You can apply for this funding direct with the college. If you do need any further advice, please email hrdirect@denbighshire.gov.uk.
