Is it really free?

A brief overview of how funding for education works

Sometimes it almost feels too good to be true that great courses and training programmes are 'free'. And very few people know that funded education is available for everyone in the UK for life - it doesn't stop after school and college.

As with most things, it starts with the Government who create a budget for spending, giving pots of money for key services like the NHS, transport, health care and (most importantly in our opinion) education which is given to the Department for Education to control.
