Course Eligibility and Immigration Status

The majority of courses run by Luton Adult Learning are funded by Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).  

2021/22 Funding Rules contain changes of eligibility for family members. The changes have been made due to EU Exit and changes to UK immigration rules.

With the move from an EU law (rights based) system to a UK immigration system, everyone who is not British or Irish is expected to have an immigration status.

How to view your immigration status

You can use this service if you:

• Have settled or pre-settled status

• Applied for a visa and used the ‘UK Immigration: ID Check’ app to scan your identity document on your phone

You cannot use this service if you have a vignette in your passport or a biometric residence permit to prove your immigration status.

To view your immigration status, you will need:

• Details of the identity document you used when you applied (your passport, national identity card, or biometric residence card or permit)

• Your date of birth

• Access to the mobile number or email address you used when you applied - you’ll be sent a code for logging in
