The College receives funding from the Scottish Government (Skills Development Scotland - SDS) which contributes towards the cost of the training. The funding from SDS depends on the age of the MA and also the sector in which they are working.
SDS support new starts or existing employees from 16-24 years of age, they also fund MAs in some sectors for employees who need training or professional development to upgrade their skills who are over the age of 25.
In some cases the funding from Skills Development Scotland does not meet all the costs of the training and in those instances Forth Valley College will charge for any additional training costs.
