Take advantage of FREE and FLEXIBLE courses in a broad choice of industries
Personal Learning Accounts are free courses that give you new skills and qualifications – ones that local employers are looking for – to help you take advantage of skills shortages and get your career really moving.
Better still, they’re flexible – we aim to meet the needs of the whole group when planning the dates and times to run courses. We do our best to deliver learning to fit around people’s family and work commitments.
Tata Steel - Personal Learning Accounts
Personal Learning Accounts are currently only available to individuals currently employed by Tata Steel UK (sites in Wales) OR its wider Welsh supply chain (including at risk of redundancy), aged 19+ and living in Wales.. If you are not employed by Tata or part of their Welsh supply chain, please check back from August 2024.
Working with the Welsh Government in response to the situation at Tata UK, a new £2m Targeted Intervention has been approved. This scheme will be available until 31 July 2024, providing the flexible support necessary to retrain and change your career.

Please only apply for one course at a time, as if you make multiple applications, only one can be processed.
Even though you may be eligible for funding for more than one Personal Learning Account course, we can only accept one application per person at a time. If an application is successful for a course, you must complete the first course before any more applications can be made.
You will need access to the internet and a laptop/PC in order to complete one of our e-learning or virtual courses. Some courses also require a microphone and webcam. Please check that you have access to the necessary equipment before submitting your application.
