I did some tertiary study while I was still at secondary school. Does this count as prior study or training?

If this study or training was before 1 January 2019, it does not count as prior study or training.

Likewise, if it was on or after 1 January 2019 and was part of your school learning programme, or secondary tertiary programme, it does not count as prior study or training.

However, any tertiary courses undertaken on or after 1 January 2019, that are separate to your school learning will count, and will start to use up your Fees Free entitlement.

If you have questions about your eligibility, including prior study or training, please contact us on 0800 601 301 or at [email protected].
