Successful bidders will have the chance to be granted funding for the academic year(s) 1 August 2024 - 31 July 2026, with the possibility to extend the Approved Provider List for two further years. There is total funding of £638,000 available per year. The Council receives two separate Adult Education Budget (AEB) grants from: 1. Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA)/Department for Education (DfE) 2. Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) The Council delivers adult education in-house, but a proportion of the grants are sub-contracted to independent providers that deliver training that complements the in-house delivery. The Adult Education Budget (AEB) aims to engage adults and provide the skills and learning they need to equip them for work, an apprenticeship or other learning. It enables more flexible tailored programmes of learning to be made available, which may or may not require a qualification, to help eligible learners engage in learning, build confidence, and/or enhance their wellbeing. The relevant CPCA and ESFA Funding Rules and eligibility criteria for the academic year (1 August 2024 - 31 July 2025) will apply to this funding.
