What is a Personal Learning Account?

A Personal Learning Account will allow you to study part-time around your existing responsibilities. It will enable you to obtain the skills and qualifications you need to change your career or progress in your current job.

Your study will take place through a college in Wales, either online, face-to-face, or a combination of both. Personal Learning Accounts provide flexible courses and qualifications, fully funded by the Welsh Government. You'll be able to get new skills and qualifications that local employers need to help you progress your current career, or even change it altogether.
