JOBSEEKERS in the borough may now be eligible for free tuition at Waltham Forest College following a government decision.
Management at the site in Forest Road, Walthamstow, are urging residents to get in contact following the announcement.
It comes after Whitehall said that those on unemployment benefits who are lacking in skills can apply for fee remission on courses at further education colleges.
However students will still have to pay examination fees and other course-related costs under the scheme.
A college spokeswoman said: "To find out whether you are eligible, please come along to an enrolment session taking place throughout September at Waltham Forest College.
"To obtain further details please visit www.waltham.ac.uk. You can also enquire by telephone on 020 8501 8501 although lines will be very busy during the enrolment period."
