As a 50 year old Neurodverse adult - Would I get funding for a local College?

I applied for a level 1 Programming course at Sheffield College yesterday, they've emailed me this morning saying someone will be in touch at some point for an "assessment" of my existing skills etc.

However, due to the nature of my benefits, which are enhanced rate PIP and Universal Credit, would I have to pay for the course myself or would it be funded?

If it's the former rather than the latter, I probably wouldn't be able to do the course.

I tried to call Sheffield College yesterday to discuss this but they won't talk to me, I think they're still on Easter Holidays.

I'm not too sure to be honest @SheffieldMan1976. It might depend on the funding but hopefully Sheffield can get back to you soon.
