Funding for individuals

Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) are funded through Skills Development Scotland. They help people develop the skills they need for work. ITAs give learners, who meet the eligibility criteria, up to £200 towards a single training course or training episode per year. And because it is not a loan, the money doesn’t need to be paid back. See the SDS website for information.
