The Warwick Learning Account (WLA) continues to support colleagues who have previously received WLA funding support for one of the following part-time degrees:
The Warwick Learning Account is no longer supporting other courses.
We are currently revising how we support staff development across the University.
Am I entitled to a WLA?
If you have an employment contract issued by University of Warwick HR and are paid from the standard salaries monthly payroll you are entitled to a Warwick Learning Account.
Please note, you are not entitled to Warwick Learning Account vouchers if you are:
- on the Sessional Teaching Payroll (STP) or Variable Payroll (VAM)
- a temporary worker (e.g. Third party contract worker, Unitemps employee, external business' staff)
- a visiting academic
- a PG (research/taught) student
Are you eligible for a Warwick Learning Account?
If you have an employment contract issued by HR and are paid from the standard salaries monthly payroll you are entitled to a Warwick Learning Account, in line with the scheme limitations for 2021/22 as outlined above.
The amount of your allowance depends upon the percentage of a full-time equivalent contract you work, as follows:
|
Percentage Contract |
Part-time Degree Allowance (for colleagues without an existing degree qualification) |
|
Up to 30% FTE |
Funding up to 30 CATS of study to a maximum of £1,540 |
|
31% to 60% FTE |
Funding up to 60 CATS of study to a maximum of £3,080 |
|
61% to 100% FTE |
For staff who are joining or leaving part-way through the year, the funding allowance will be pro-rata using your contract start and end dates.
Part-time staff who were previously in receipt of a full allowance as per the table above and have already embarked upon a Part-time Degree will continue to receive the full allowance until they complete their degree.
Staff who are on a career break will not be entitled to funding for the duration of their break. If a member of staff returns from a career break part-way through a financial year they will be entitled to a pro-rata allowance.
