Study programmes are publicly-funded learning programmes for 16 to 19 year olds. They are also for 19 to 25 year olds where the student has a learning difficulty assessment (LDA) or Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP). They are based on a young person’s prior attainment and are designed to meet clear educational and career aspirations.
