LEARNER LOANS

WITH SWIFT

What We Offer

Swift are excited to share that we are now able to offer the new Early Years Educator qualification: Level 3 Diploma for Working in Early Years Sector. 

This new Diploma has been written to meet the most current needs of the industry and is now one of very few qualifications that meet ratio requirements within nurseries.

Swift’s EYE Diploma is delivered over ten months through a variety of live online delivery sessions, guided research and a few workplace assessments.

The cost of the Diploma with Swift is £4,100 and can be covered by a student loan which we will help you to secure.

Eligibility

How to Apply

You will need to submit an application to the Student Loan Company (SLC). Apply online - you’ll need to register first.

To complete the application you will need a Learning and funding information letter from Swift.

Fill in the ‘Application form for students who start on or after 1 August 2024’.

You’ll get a letter confirming your loan application outcome - usually within 2 weeks if you apply online.

When and How Repayments are Made

You’ll only start making repayments from April 2026 and only when your income is over the threshold of £480 a week, £2,083 a month or £25,000 a year.  You will pay 9% of your income that is over the threshold amount.

Your income is the amount you earn (including things like bonuses and overtime) before tax and other deductions.

The threshold amounts change on 6 April every year.

Your repayments automatically stop if either:

  • you stop working
  • your income goes below the threshold

Example

If you have an income of £30,000 a year, you would be paid £2,500 each month, before tax and other deductions.

The repayment calculation in this example would be:

£2,500 – £2,083 (your income minus the threshold amount) = £417

9% of £417 = £37.53

In this example, the amount you’d repay each month would be £37.53.

 

Thanks to the great team at Swift. I know exactly where to go if I need support not just with the course but also personal concerns!
