Youth Guarantee

Are you 16-24 years old? Youth Guarantee enables you to train fees-free for up to two years in a range of practical programmes.

Complete an introductory programme at Level 1 or 2 and then choose from a wider selection of Level 3 options. Youth Guarantee can help cover your fees, course-related costs and travel. This could be ideal if you want to keep learning but feel the school is no longer right for you.

Options include:

  • Automotive
  • Construction Trades (Carpentry, Electrical, Painting and Decorating, Plumbing, Tiling)
  • Cookery
  • Hairdressing
  • Mechanical Engineering

Further entry criteria may apply to particular programmes. Please check the requirements listed on each programme page.
