eeep a yes and a no

I am studying buiness studies with accounting for my degree the course im on atm is buisiness functions in context I wanted to do a second course which overlaps by 3 months but without the second grant i couldnt afford the train fees for the day schools and tutorials and i think they are essential to study imo esp when the limit to your day times is cbeebies

It's definitely a no. Get in touch about the access to learning fund.

Are you in England or Wales?

I managed to get a 2nd course grant during the same academic year.

i am in England, and it is definitely no - only one per academic year.

Also, the childcare help (if it is relevant to you) states up to £1000 per 60point course. A bit misleading, as in my experience, it is up to £1000 per academic year. I have not managed to get them to fund more than that depsite doing 2 x 60 (oct start then feb start) for 2 years running.

Good luck with your course
