The YPLA is one of two successor organisations to the former Learning and Skills Council, the other being the Skills Funding Agency, which has responsibility for funding education and training for adults (aged 20+). The two organisations work closely together.

Providers and IAG services will probably find their questions answered on our learner support pages. Young people looking for help funding their learning will find a visit to the Directgov site worthwhile.
