Youth Guarantee funding is not available for 20 year old students to re-enrol in courses they did not successfully complete. Keep this in mind when you enrol a student who is close to turning 20 years of age, as any re-enrolments in qualifications or courses will need to be self-funded by the student or from SAC funding.
