Career Investment
A loan will allow you to invest in your sports and fitness career now, and you can pay it back later.
No Credit Checks
Your income does not matter with an Advanced Learning Loan, and credit checks aren’t carried out.
Repay Later
The loan repayments won’t begin until your income is over £27,295 a year, and will pause if it drops below.
Applying is easy
Your household income isn't taken into account, and there are no credit checks. Advanced Learning Loans help you pay the fees charged by your training provider, most learners aged 19 and over and studying a Level 3, 4 or 5 qualification will qualify for an Advanced Learning Loan from the UK Government.
The eligibility tool is designed to help learners work out if they might be eligible for an Advanced Learner Loan. It’s only intended as a guide; learners will only know for sure if they’re entitled to a loan once they’ve submitted an application. If you would like to get funding for a course with Fitasylum, you can check below using the video and tool to see if you are eligible before you start the application process.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Getting a loan doesn’t depend on your income and credit checks aren’t carried out. Repayments are based on your income and won’t begin until your income is over £27,295 a year.
-
Once you’ve identified the qualification you’d like to study you should contact FitAsylum and we will confirm whether there are places available on the course and give you a Learning and Funding Information Letter. You’ll need the information set out in this letter to complete an application and submit this to Student Finance England.
-
Yes, applying online is quick and easy. Once you’ve received your Learning and Funding Information Letter, you’ll be able to register and apply online at www.gov.uk/advancedlearningloans You can also download an application at www.gov.uk/advancedlearningloans If you need help, please contact us.
-
You’ll need to provide details of the:
Course you wish to study;
Fee you’re being charged; and
Amount of loan you want to take out.
We will give you all the information in your Learning and Funding Information Letter. You’ll need to decide how much loan you want to take out. You’ll also be required to provide your personal details (name, address, etc) and evidence to confirm your identity. For UK passport holders, this will just be your valid UK passport details (not a physical passport). If you’re a UK national but don’t have a passport you’ll be asked to provide another form of evidence such as a UK birth certificate, which will be returned to you. If you’re not a UK national, you’ll need to provide physical identity evidence, as well as evidence that you’re a permanent resident inside the UK. You’ll also need to provide a valid National Insurance number so that the loan can be paid to the college or training organisation on your behalf.
-
A National Insurance number is required before the loan can be paid to the college or training organisation on your behalf. If you don’t have a National Insurance number, you can still apply for a loan. Student Finance England will contact you if you need to do anything to obtain one. This may mean that you’ll need to arrange an appointment with your local Job Center to have one assigned to you.
-
Applications submitted online that don’t require any further supporting evidence (because you’ve provided your valid UK passport details) will be processed quickly and you should hear from us within two weeks. If you don’t apply online or you don’t send us the evidence we ask for at the time of application it will take longer.
-
Repayments will be automatically deducted from your income through the tax system from the April after you complete or leave the course and your income is more than £27,295 a year.
-
Repayments will be made at 9% of your income over £27,295 a year. For example, if your income is £30,000 a year then your loan repayments would be around £32 a month. The repayments are based purely on income, not on the amount borrowed or number of loans. So, regardless of how much you owe, the repayments will be the same. If your income falls below £27,295, repayments will stop and only re-start when your income increases to more than £27,295.

Interest-Free Plans
Pay In Monthly Installments
Alternatively, you can set up an interest-free payment plan with Fitasylum. We use Go Cardless, which will allow you to pay off your course over the maximum time of 6 months, meaning you can pay the cost of the course during your time with us!
If you choose this option, you can tell us when is the best time to take the payments. Although we don't require an "official deposit", the first payment of your plan will be made before you start your course. After this initial payment, you will have the opportunity to split the course up into 6 payments, which is set at 0% interest.
Flexible Payment Options
We believe that education should be accessible to all, regardless of financial constraints; this is why we offer funding through different loan schemes. If you would like any more information about the plans we offer, just give us a call today to speak to one of our helpful team.
