I'm doing a NCEF level 6 course in UL and was granted a student grant from my local County Council.The council letter said go to the fees office so they can invoice me my fees back to me as I have already paid them but the NCEF office said I'm not eligible for this grant as they are only accredited to UL. Anyone any advice…

Yea that sounds right, NCEF are a private for profit training provider who are accredited by UL. So they wont be eligible for fees/grant coverage. If you had dont the NCEF via a plc course you'd probably have been covered by the grant but would still have had to pay fees of about €1200 to NCEF.
