All the funding received for the Adult Learning and Skills Service
is allocated by central Government via the Education and Skills
Funding Agency (ESFA) to fund and support learning for adults aged
19+. All costs associated with the delivery of learning (including
all staffing costs) are covered by the ring fenced external
budgets.
The Service offers a small amount of provision through the
Community Learning funding to enable learners to join learning
activities for their own enjoyment and to learn or improve skills.
This offer is costed at £4.60 per hour (2021/22) for full fee
paying learner and £1.90 (2021/22) for fee remitted learner -

remission rules as Accredited Learning.
