Lifelong Loan Entitlement Consultation

We sought views on the ambition, objectives and coverage of the Lifelong Loan Entitlement, together with aspects such as the level of modularity (i.e. the minimum number of credits a course will need to bear), maintenance support, how to support quality provision and flexible learning, how to incentivise and enable effective credit transfer and whether restrictions on previous study should be amended to facilitate retraining and stimulate high-quality provision.

Respondents were generally supportive of the high-level objectives and ambitions of the LLE, noting the need to carefully balance flexibility with quality.

The response to this consultation provides a detailed conclusion to the consultation including the changes being brought in as part of the LLE and next steps.
