key facts:
• Repayments are linked to what you earn and not how much you borrowed
• You only have to start making repayments when you’ve finished your course and if you’re
earning over £25,000 a year (which is £480 a week or £2,083 a month). Until then you don’t
need to pay back anything but you can make voluntary repayments at any time
• You pay 9% of the money you earn over £25,000 before tax. For example, if you earn
£27,000 a year, your monthly repayment will be £15 a month; and if you earn £33,000 a year,
it will be £60 per month
• Interest is charged on a sliding scale between the Retail Price Index (RPI) and RPI +3%,
depending on how much you earn
• If your Advanced Learner Loan is for an Access to Higher Education course and you go on
to complete a degree, the Advanced Learner Loan gets written off.

3495DC 6739 pt prospectus_vis3.indd 13 20/12/2019 12:45What level can
you study?
Most qualifications have a difficulty level. The higher the level, the more difficult the
qualification is. Qualifications at the same level sometimes
cover different amounts of the same subject.
For example AS levels and A levels are both level 3, but you study AS
levels over 1 year and A levels over 2 years. So you learn more about the
subject at A level.
