How it works
Future Textile Dyers Fund
Up to 60% funding for UK companies available for FTCC and TCC
Following collaborative discussions with the Worshipful Company of Dyers covering sector skills the Society of Dyers and Colourists will provide funding of up to 60% of the course fees for those studying the SDC’s Foundation Textile Coloration Certificate (FTCC) and Textile Coloration Certificate (TCC). The funding is available for UK based course participants.
The requirement for highly-skilled textile dyers and printers has never been more important. The fund allows businesses to extend their capabilities, increase flexibility and develop new skills within the UK.
Application for funding
Application for funding is automatic for any UK based company registering employees on the course before the deadline specified on the product page. All applicants will be given the same level of funding for applications received by this date. The SDC has a fixed fund to distribute. Levels of funding will be agreed and communicated to employers before invoicing.
