Learners wishing to undertake an Access to HE course will be required to apply for an Advanced Learner Loan, which is how the course is paid for. We understand the concerns, worries and stress that comes with taking out a loan; however, Student Finance England will ‘write off’ any outstanding Advanced Learner Loan balances you owe for an Access to HE course once you complete a higher education course. Meaning, you do not have to repay it.
