Career Investment
A loan will allow you to invest in your sports and fitness career now, and you can pay it back later.
No Credit Checks
Your income does not matter with an Advanced Learning Loan, and credit checks aren’t carried out.
Repay Later
The loan repayments won’t begin until your income is over £27,295 a year, and will pause if it drops below.
Applying is easy
Your household income isn't taken into account, and there are no credit checks. Advanced Learning Loans help you pay the fees charged by your training provider, most learners aged 19 and over and studying a Level 3, 4 or 5 qualification will qualify for an Advanced Learning Loan from the UK Government.
The eligibility tool is designed to help learners work out if they might be eligible for an Advanced Learner Loan. It’s only intended as a guide; learners will only know for sure if they’re entitled to a loan once they’ve submitted an application. If you would like to get funding for a course with Fitasylum, you can check below using the video and tool to see if you are eligible before you start the application process.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ll need the information set out in this letter to complete an application and submit this to Student Finance England.

-
You’ll need to provide details of the:
Course you wish to study;
Fee you’re being charged; and
Amount of loan you want to take out.
We will give you all the information in your Learning and Funding Information Letter. You’ll need to decide how much loan you want to take out. You’ll also be required to provide your personal details (name, address, etc) and evidence to confirm your identity. For UK passport holders, this will just be your valid UK passport details (not a physical passport). If you’re a UK national but don’t have a passport you’ll be asked to provide another form of evidence such as a UK birth certificate, which will be returned to you. If you’re not a UK national, you’ll need to provide physical identity evidence, as well as evidence that you’re a permanent resident inside the UK. You’ll also need to provide a valid National Insurance number so that the loan can be paid to the college or training organisation on your behalf.
-
A National Insurance number is required before the loan can be paid to the college or training organisation on your behalf. If you don’t have a National Insurance number, you can still apply for a loan. Student Finance England will contact you if you need to do anything to obtain one. This may mean that you’ll need to arrange an appointment with your local Job Center to have one assigned to you.
-
Applications submitted online that don’t require any further supporting evidence (because you’ve provided your valid UK passport details) will be processed quickly and you should hear from us within two weeks. If you don’t apply online or you don’t send us the evidence we ask for at the time of application it will take longer.
-
Repayments will be automatically deducted from your income through the tax system from the April after you complete or leave the course and your income is more than £27,295 a year.
-
Repayments will be made at 9% of your income over £27,295 a year. For example, if your income is £30,000 a year then your loan repayments would be around £32 a month. The repayments are based purely on income, not on the amount borrowed or number of loans. So, regardless of how much you owe, the repayments will be the same. If your income falls below £27,295, repayments will stop and only re-start when your income increases to more than £27,295.
