Loan for Mature student, what am I entitled to?

Hi all.
This is probably an easy question to answer but im completely out of the loop with this - Im a 27 year old mature student at College taking a 2 year BTEC, National Diploma course (media production). I receive ALG - £30 pw. I was wondering if I would qualify for a student loan, what loan could I get and how much would I have to pay back and when?

Ive been looking for a weekend job for a while, applying for a lot but with no luck. The reason for the loan, just for those interested, is for a new pc and software for high end video editing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Loan entitlement for yourself is £0, as the loans are for higher education. You're in further education, so your best bet would be to approach your college to see if they offer any course grants. I know some do.
