    The SLC will not offer funding for an NVQ.

    OP, can you give us further information - what level have you studied at before, and how old are you? Do you have any other household income?
    Gone ... or have I?

    If you don't already have a level 3 qualification you shouldn't have to pay fees and would be eligible for ALG.

    Surely you can work full time if you are only at college two hours a week?
