New government loan scheme will fund level three training in exercise and fitness
A new government loan scheme has been launched to help people over the age of 24 fund their
education for qualifications at level three and above.
Fitness training specialists Amac will benefit from the new 24+ Advanced Learning Loans scheme and can now offer Advanced Learning Loans through its partnership with Canterbury College for those who wish to study to be a personal trainer or work in exercise referral.
Loan fees will be exempt from VAT and will not need to be paid back until the loanee is earning at least £21,000 a year. Repayments won’t start until April 2016.
Amac is also able to offer free or part-funded qualifications at level two, including gym instructor training.
Applicants can process loans online for courses starting between the beginning of August and 31 July 2014.
