The Skills Funding Agency (SFA) has published a list of qualifications that they plan to withdraw from 31 July/31 December 2013. Qualifications on this list will no longer be funded after the specified date. This only applies to 19+ learners. Click here to view the list.

If there is a qualification on this list that you are planning to run in the next academic year then VTCT can formally appeal to the SFA, we have until 17 June 2013 to do so.

If you have planned to run any of the qualifications on the list to 19+ learners in the next academic year, please e-mail ashleybarnes@vtct.org.uk. You should indicate expected enrolments as this will strengthen our appeal.
