Self Funded Programmes

Explore LAAT's portfolio of self-funded programmes, designed to support professional development, career progression and further study. Our current provision includes Business Management qualifications, SENCo programme, and Functional Skills qualifications in English and Mathematics.

With options available across a range of subjects and qualification levels, learners can choose a programme that reflects their experience, ambitions and development needs.

What Are Self-Funded Courses?

A self-funded course is a programme financed directly by the learner, with course fees paid privately rather than through government funding.

This option is particularly suitable for individuals who are ineligible for an apprenticeship, as well as employers seeking flexible training solutions tailored to specific skills and workforce development needs.
