SFA funding guidelines state:
Learners aged 19 and over, excluding apprentices, are eligible for full funding to take GCSE English and maths (including iGCSE) if they do not currently have these qualifications at grades A* to C, no matter what other qualifications they already hold. If a learner wants to ‘retake’ their GCSE English and maths because they did not achieve an A* to C grade, we would not fund the learner to just resit the exam.
