Accreditation: VTCT Skills Level 4 Certificate in Micropigmentation
Funding: Advanced Learner Loan
Course Fee: £1,645.00
At Cheshire Training Academy, you can apply for an Advanced Learner Loan to help with the costs of a course. Please don’t worry, we can give you all the guidance and support you need to apply for your Advanced Learner Loan.
Advanced learner loan:
This is a loan that you apply for from Student Finance UK, the government grant you the money to complete the course
You can have up to 4 advanced learner loans at once and only pay them back once you earn over £25,000.
An advanced learner loan does not affect your credit rating and they do not consider your previous credit rating when you apply for one.
No credit checks
If you don’t earn above the threshold, you don’t pay it back.
Advanced learner loans are wiped after 40 years.
Example:
You’ll repay 9% of your income over £27,295 a year. Even if your income doesn’t exceed £27,295 a year but is over £524 a week or £2,274 a month at any point in the year (e.g. if you work overtime) then a loan deduction will be made.
For example, if you’re paid monthly and earn £2,500 before tax you’d repay 9% of the difference between what you earn and what the threshold is:
£2,500 - £2,274 = £226
9% of £226 = £20.34
So your student loan repayment would be £20 in that month.
If your income changes, either rising or falling, your repayment amounts will automatically change to reflect this. A different threshold may apply if you move to live in a country outside the UK.
