Some advice needed for part-time study.

Hi,

I am 27, work full time and all my wages go on living costs and debt re-payment. (debt is party my fault partly rescuing my parents from BR).

I really need to complete my CIPD (HR course) to go any further in my career. The cost is £5700 for two years of course fee's plus travel and books part-time. The course starts in Feb 2010.

I can not find any grants for HR courses. I have not completed any kind of further ed before so thought I would receive some help with my fee's as I dod not take help at 18!!!!!

I earn £23,500 but lose £2500 a year for travel so I dont bring home as much as I look like I do.

Any help or advice would be brilliant?

I have looked at a Career Developmenbt Loan but im not sure if I would be accepted for one?

I’m back and more determined than ever!!!!!

    Can your employer not pay?

    I think that this is one of the areas for which you won't get funding and I agree that a CDL may not be possible with a poor credt record (no harm in applying though.).
  • The only down side to applying for a PCDL if you think you are likely to be turned down is that the application will appear on your credit history as it is a commercial product.

    If you are considering a PCDL, you should call 0800 585 505 for impartial advice & guidance.
