Upcoming Events

ALL Learning Provider Regional Service Review Forums March 2025 - book your place now!

Registration is now open for next month's ALL Learning Provider Regional Service Review Forums.

This is an opportunity for you to discuss ALL and the funding landscape within a small group.

We'll share information about academic years 2024/25 and 2025/26, and we'll discuss best practice by looking at things from a Learning Provider's perspective.

We'll also consider how the further education sector is evolving and the latest updates available. At the event, you'll have the opportunity to provide feedback on all areas of the Learning Provider and SLC partnership.

Who should attend?

We've designed these events for anyone involved in the administration of Advanced Learner Loans.

We'll be discussing a wide range of subjects that'll be beneficial to all and we'll gather insight to feed back to DfE, Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and other partners.

There'll be a limit on capacity at each forum, so there's a restriction of 2 attendees per provider.

There'll also be a working lunch available, where you'll have an opportunity to speak to Account Managers and network with other providers.
