Funding for HGV related courses (Wales only)

Hello,

Thought I’d share some info some of my fellow Welsh people might find useful.

There’s a scheme in Wales called the PLA (Personal Learning Account) and it helps people improve their employability by paying for courses. It’s not especially well advertised but I stumbled across it and thought I’d share in case it helps. There’s driving ones, CPC and ADR through some of the colleges in the area. I think others in the north might have similar but I haven’t checked. There’s some criteria you have to hit but it’s geared pretty favourably.

Here’s a few useful links:

From what I can gather the criteria changes on the 1st of august so best to get the ball rolling pronto if it’s something that you’d benefit from.

Hope this is of help to some people out there.
