All three of our current live programmes are available through Skills Bootcamps funding. To access a funded place, your employer needs to meet the criteria below. Don't worry if you're unsure, we'll check this with you on a call.

📍 Is your employer based in Liverpool City Region?

To access funding, your HQ or office must be based in Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens, Halton or Wirral.

🏢 Does your business have fewer than 250 employees?

Small and medium businesses receive 90% funding. If you’ve got 250+ staff you’re still eligible for 50% funding.

You’re likely eligible for 100% funding, meaning you can access this training for free.
