Free Courses for AdultsIf you earn less than £30,000 per year and are aged 19 or over, you can study for FREE* on some of our courses. For courses where there is a fee we offer flexible payment plans and a raft of financial support to help remove any barriers to returning to education. We can also offer advanced learner loans on some courses and you don’t have to start paying back until you earn £25,000 per year. There is support available to ensure you can study at BMet. We realise that adult learners have many demands on their time, and for this reason, we offer flexible part-time and short courses, to suit your needs. *Terms and conditions apply. Entry requirements apply for certain courses. Funding for free courses only applies to ESFA and West Midlands Combined Authority funded adult courses, excluding full cost courses and courses eligible for loans. |
Our part-time students have access to our excellent facilities including well equipped learning resource centres and state-of-the-art studios and workshops. What’s more, you’ll have access to our supportive and knowledgeable staff and a range of support that’ll help you back into education.
