These Regulations amend the Individual Learning Account (Scotland) Regulations 2011 (“the 2011 Regulations”). The amendments have the effect of changing requirements for Qualifying Persons within the meaning of the 2011 Regulations so that those participating in certain training programmes will no longer be eligible for grant. These Regulations also make certain savings and transitional provision for those currently in receipt of grant (regulation 3).
