The courses will be delivered in cooperation with Edinburgh College in Access to Industry's Community College (156 Cowgate), or online (depending on the course).

They should also meet one of the following criteria – disabled/disabled child; minority ethnic background; lone parent; have three or more children; have a child under one; are themselves under 25.
