# The Further Education Loans (Amendment) Regulations 2017, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Further Education Loans Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/1818) (the “2012 Regulations”).
Regulation 3 amends regulation 16 of the 2012 Regulations to set out the basis for arriving at the maximum loan amounts for fees for courses beginning in the period beginning 1st August 2017 and ending on 31st July 2018.
Regulation 4 substitutes a new paragraph for paragraph 13 of Schedule 1 to the 2012 Regulations, which sets out the “long residence” category of eligibility, to correct a syntactical error.
Regulation 5 inserts Schedule 3 into the 2012 Regulations, which contains the tables that are used to calculate the maximum loan amount for a qualification.
The GLH and Learning Aim Reference of a further education course can be found on Ofqual’s Register of Qualifications at http:/register.ofqual.gov.uk/Download. Copies are available from the Department for Education on request.
