Learn Something New with Nisus and
ILA Scotland
 ILA Scotland is a Scottish Executive scheme that
allows people to get help with the cost of learning. ILA
stands for Individual Learning Account and the scheme is
aimed at those who are resident in Scotland, aged 18 years
and older, earn £15,000 or less per year or are on
benefits.
You could have access to up to £200 of funding
for training per year, provided you meet the eligibility
criteria.
Once you have an account, you have to pay a minimum contribution
of £10 towards the cost of each course you do. The £10
can come from no other source except you as the account holder.
An employer can contribute towards the total cost provided
the learning is eligible but ILA Scotland funding cannot
be used to provide training that is essential for your employment
- any training must be chosen by you and not your employer.
Nisus is currently able to offer you a range of accredited
IT training courses to study that are eligible for ILA
Scotland funding, including the European Computer Driving
Licence® (ECDL)
through a range of study options. For more details about
what the ECDL is all about please see our article on page
4.

Both mum and baby are well and popped into Nisus last week
to give all the staff the chance to meet wee Ryan.
Everyone at the centre would like to offer their
