Useful Information
<h1>How We Are Funded and Why This Matters</h1>
<p>We want to start by explaining how we are funded—because your eligibility to learn with us depends on it.</p>
<p><strong>Haringey Learns</strong> receives funding from both the <strong>Greater London Authority (GLA)</strong> and the <strong>Department for Education (DfE)</strong>.</p>
<h2>GLA-Funded Courses</h2>
<ul>
<li>Be aged <strong>19 or over</strong> on <strong>31 August 2025</strong></li>
<li><strong>Live in London</strong></li>
<li>Meet the <strong>GLA residency requirements</strong></li>
</ul>
<h2>DfE-Funded Courses</h2>
<ul>
<li>Be aged <strong>19 or over</strong> on <strong>31 August 2025</strong></li>
<li><strong>Live outside London</strong> (for courses not funded by the GLA)</li>
<li>Meet the <strong>DfE residency requirements</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>We’ll ask you to provide information to confirm your eligibility and will guide you on how to do this.</p>
<h2>Finding a Course</h2>
<ul>
<li>Use the <strong>Home</strong> page to search for courses.</li>

</ul>
<p><em>Some courses are delivered online, so you’ll need a device with internet access to apply and participate.</em></p>
<h2>How to Enrol or Apply</h2>
<ul>
<li>If a course has an <strong>ENROL</strong> option, you can apply and be enrolled directly.</li>
<li>If a course has an <strong>APPLY</strong> option, you’ll need to complete an <strong>initial assessment</strong> before enrolling.</li>
</ul>
<p>Initial assessments help us ensure you’re on the right course at the right level.</p>
<p><em>If you’re new to Haringey Learns, registration and application may take up to 30 minutes. Please have details of any previous qualifications ready.</em></p>
<p>We also use the <strong>Learner Record Service</strong> to check your previous learning history.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Applying does not guarantee a place.</p>
<h2>Initial Assessment</h2>
<p>After applying, you’ll be contacted about completing your initial assessment (if required).</p>
<ul>
<li>Choose a quiet time and place to complete it.</li>
<li>We recommend completing it by the target date, as courses can fill up quickly.</li>
</ul>
<p>Once completed, we’ll contact you to arrange a tutor interview if needed—or confirm your enrolment.</p>
<h2>Health & Support Needs</h2>
<p>If you have a <strong>learning difficulty, disability, or health condition</strong>, please let us know during your application. We’ll assess your needs and provide appropriate support if you enrol.</p>
