sorted byDon't the Scottish get a free degree?
Whilst those three criteria above are the absolute minimum, the wording suggests to me that these "free" courses (as stated above) are funded from the skills budget via the local authority, and it mentions the possibility of contacting your employer (presumably as part of applying for the course funding to ensure that the course has some relevance to your job).
It also mentions that there may be an administration fee to pay if you don't progress through much of the course (so this isn't a case of just blindly applying for something of not much interest to you!)
In the hoose
oh my, such effort required for one more click on something you may be interested in
When I initially went through the Vison2Learn site, I was told that no funding was available in my area. However, I did a bit of searching and applied via Somerset College:

Same course, all goes through under the Vision2Learn platform but for some reason they let me sign up.
Might be worth giving them a go.
Link works fine, but if it still lets you down you could try copy and pasting the address below.

The courses are funded by your local council authority.
Heat and thanks.
Free if you're Scottish and European but not free if you're English or Welsh but all paid for by......All Britsh Taxpayers! Clearly something not right - Just wait until the SNP increase taxes - More migrants but heading south this time!
Done a lot of coursera courses and they are normally very good, though they are pushing for paid certification quite heavily. There has only been one course that i couldn't do as i didn't want to pay, though imagine that might become more frequent.

Try West college Scotland and Somerset college. Put them. In google with free distance learning and they come up. There are a few more that I know of but can't remember off the top of my head. They all offer more or less the same courses anyway
actually education is a devolved power so it's not paid for by British tax payer actually. English tax pays for English education system and Scottish tax pays for Scottish education system. you can apologise later for being ignorant.
Interesting why would they need to contact your employer? Could you let me know where it says that so i can have a read?
Thanks

They may be able to get the course funded by your employer, if not it's funded by your local council or the college. The money has to come from somewhere.
Are there any other websites for free courses ?
You usually get assigned a college or uni that your doing the course through eg Easton& Otley College, so you would probably put that
Just "Equality and Diversity" and "Lean Organisation Management Techniques" seem to be available in south glos
i was interested, I got excited about doing a course and then I wasn't eligible. do you want me to start posting all of the WAG initiatives that people in England or Scotland won't be eligible for but not include this in the title?
Posting any deal might give a little justification to your moaning.
