Army Further Education (FE) Bursary Scheme

What is the Army FE Bursary?
The army has teamed up with College Name College to offer the Army FE Bursary Scheme. You get £1000 while you’re at college, then join the Army after the end of the course, where you’ll train for a job and start an exciting career. Once you have completed Army training, you’ll qualify for a further £1000. 

What courses are covered?
There are a range of courses the Army is supporting.  All the courses will give you a fully recognised qualification and the basics you need for a job in the Army. You could choose a course in IT, Engineering, Catering, Public Services, Construction or Vehicle Repair & Technology to name but a few.
