*Skills Bootcamps are free to those who are unemployed, employed (looking to change career), and self-employed. Skills Bootcamps can be co-funded by employers to enable upskilling of employees. Thanks to funding from the Department for Education, SME employers pay just 10% (£291) and large organisations 30% (£873).
