Whether you are looking to research your family tree, complete a
psychology Higher, or learn how to draw, we have an evening or day
class to suit you! Location need not be an issue - with our
conveniently located local Learning Centres, most courses are
available close to home.
Browsing through this booklet will give you an idea of the range of
classes that Shetland College UHI can offer as well as help you
through our application process. You can get more details about
individual courses and life at the college by visiting our website.
Add to this the fact that we are a part of the newest university in
Scotland, the University of the Highlands and Islands. If you enjoy
your evening or day class there may be a suitable course to progress
to at the college, so who knows where this booklet may take you!
Our students continually tell us that one of the best things about the
college is our “friendly and supportive staff.” With this support we
firmly believe we can offer what is best for you.

How much will my course cost?
Fee Waivers: If your household receives certain means tested benefits or
you have a low household income, then you may be eligible for a fee
waiver.
Individual Learning Accounts (ILA): You may be able to use your ILA funding to help pay for approved classes. These classes will be marked by the Skills Development Scotland brand mark:
SDS Individual Learning Accounts (ILAs) are a Scottish Government scheme that can help you pay for learning that you can do at a time, place, pace and in a way to suit you. It’s for people who have an income of £22,000 a year or less, or who are on benefits.
Course prices are included in the ‘class times’ section of this booklet.
Part-time students normally pay their own fees unless entitled to any of the
support detailed below. If you feel you are entitled to any of these sources
of funding then please refer to the relevant contact details.
What funding is available?
Entry requirements can vary from course to course, particularly for
certificated qualifications. Generally, for Highers the entry requirement is 1
National 5 (or equivalent) for applicants of school leaving age. For PDA or
HNC courses the entry requirement is 1 Higher (or equivalent) for
applicants of school leaving age.
These entry requirements can be waived for mature applicants, depending
on experience.
What are the entry requirements?
4
If you are 16 or over and living in Scotland, you could be eligible for up to £200 towards the cost of learning with a learner account. ILAs are available if you are interested in learning something new or brushing up your skills. There are a range of courses to choose from and you can study with any approved ILA learning provider, including local colleges, universities and private training companies.
You must have your ILA in place before you start your course.
To request an application pack, or to find out more, see the website:
www.myworldofwork.co.uk/funding
or call the helpline on 0800 917 8000*.
*Please note: charges may apply dependent on your operator.
HE Fee Grants: If you are studying at SCQF Level 7 to 10 (for example, an HNC or above), earn less than £25K and studying 30-119 SCQF credits you may be entitled to apply for the SAAS Part-time Fee Grant to meet the costs of your fees. For more information see:
www.saas.gov.uk
Need some advice about fees or funding? Contact the college to speak with our Guidance Coordinator.
