What are co-funded ASNs?
Co-funded ASNs are additional student numbers (ASNs) allocated at a lower rate of funding than ‘full funded’ ASNs, normally at between 50-75 per cent of a full-time equivalent (FTE) student. We would expect the HEI or FEC to secure from an employer the remaining percentage. For example, an HEI wishing to deliver an HE Certificate (120 credits) to 30 learners may be allocated 15 FTEs by HEFCE and be expected to secure the equivalent of 15 FTEs of funding from employers.
