You can only get help if you receive some sort of benefit. (JSA, IB, IS, WTC, etc)

Is there anything on your college website about this?

Ignore Titch89.

If this is your first level 2 qualification then you won't have to pay any course fees. I believe that the Adult Learning Grant doesn't exist in Scotland but they have an Individual Learning Account instead.I'm sure someone in Scotland will have more information on this.

If you can't get reduced course fees, I think you can apply to the learning support fund for help with the cost.

If this is your first level 2 qualification then you won't have to pay any course fees.

Weong. it's only for people under 25 and the OP is 29.

Wrong again Titch89. You really need to check your facts before posting.

You will receive full fee remission if you have been a resident of Scotland for the past three years, irrespective of age.

Wrong again; the Level 2 Entitlement has no age restictions, you're thinking of the Entitlement for Level 3 courses. PLEASE don't post information unless you're sure it's correct!

Some of us do this for a living!

That's not what I've been told. What I've posted (both times) I've either been told it, or seen it on the government website.

But you said that you had seen it on the government website? If you can't provide a linky, you can just tell us what the page is called?
