Course tuition fees
As a charity, ELATT works tirelessly to access a range of funding and donations to keep our courses free.
In 2021-2022 we had 900 students in total, and none had to pay fees. That means 100% got a free course!
If you are over 19, not all our Level 3 qualifications are fully funded, so you might have to take out a student loan to do a Level 3 course. If that's the case for your Level 3 course, we'll let you know as soon as you apply.
We also can't train you if you are on a Student Visa, Visitor's Visa or Temporary Stay, or are an Overseas Student.
Each year we support hundreds of different people from all walks of life, of all backgrounds, ages, circumstances and skills levels. There's a really good chance that you can get a free course at ELATT, so apply now!
These are all the study days and times. Your course will take place on some of these times. You'll find out more information after you apply.
