723 providers have Advanced Learner Loans facility agreements with the Skills Funding Agency (SFA). This gives the provider the ability to offer loans-funded provision to learners, and to receive loan payments from the Student Loans Company on behalf of learners.

Of mainstream providers who are in receipt of an Adult Education Budget or Adult Apprenticeship funding from the SFA, 63% have an Advanced Learner Loans facility agreement.

There are providers that hold Advanced Learner Loans facility agreements and have received this agreement through open application, but do not have funding agreement with the SFA – these are not included in this percentage.
