Free courses for jobs allows eligible learners to access a high-value level 3 qualification, for free, to gain higher wages and access new job opportunities.
More than 400 qualifications are available on the offer, chosen specifically because they provide good wage outcomes and address skills needs in the economy.
The Department for Education is expanding the free courses for jobs offer to support providers to deliver more construction training. We are adding new, reformed construction qualifications at Level 2 and will be reviewing further construction qualifications for the national list.
