Notice Title

Adult Learning - Approved Provider List

Notice Description

Buckinghamshire Adult Learning (BAL) is a service area within Buckinghamshire County Council (the Council), which has contracts with the Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and the Education Funding Agency (EFA) to deliver training opportunities funded by them. Much of these are directly delivered by BAL but, in order to fully use its Apprenticeship and Adult Education Budget (AEB) allocation and ensure it addresses the key priorities of both the Council and the ESFA, it sub-contracts part of its delivery. This enables it to deliver to target markets and in geographical areas that it would otherwise be unable to reach.
