Most Access to Music courses are funded by the Learning & Skills Council. They are:
- FREE if you are an EU resident aged 16-18 on 31 August 2008;
- FREE if you are aged 19 or over on 31 August 2008 and in receipt of benefits;
- FREE if you are an unwaged dependent of someone who is receiving benefits;
You will have to provide proof of receipt of benefit and fill in a tuition fee exception form prior to enrolment.
- FREE if you are 19 and over, enrolling and intending to complete a first full level 2 or level 3 qualification and have never achieved a level 2 qualification or higher before.
