ILA Scotland - it pays to learn 

ILA Scotland is a Scottish Government scheme that helps you pay for learning that you can do at a time, place, pace and in a way to suit you.  It’s for people who have an income of £22,000 a year or less, or who are on benefits.
 
If you are 16 or over and living in Scotland, you could get up to £500 towards the cost of learning with a learner account from ILA Scotland.
 
There are two types of account available:
 
£200 accounts – If you are interested in learning something new or brushing up your skills why not get in touch and we’ll help you find the right course for you?
 
£500 accounts – If you are studying a part-time higher education or professional qualification course such as a Higher National Certificate (HNC), Higher National Diploma (HND) or a Degree.  You must be studying 40 Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) credits or more an academic year. 
 
You can only have one type of account open at any time so it’s important that you choose carefully.  If you need any further information to help you decide on the right account for you just call our friendly helpline advisers on 0808 100 1090 or visit www.ilascotland.org.uk

Whatever course you decide on, make sure that you have applied for your learner account and that you have received your account number before booking a course as you cannot use your funds to pay for a course that you have already booked.
