Funding
Government Funding
Most of our courses are fully funded for eligible UK adults. Here's how it works.
Ovie Skills is funded through a range of government and partner contracts to make adult training free for those who need it most. You don't need to navigate funding alone — our team checks your eligibility and handles the paperwork.

You may qualify for fully funded training if you are:
- Aged 19 or over and a UK resident
- Unemployed and actively seeking work
