Becoming a mature student???

arkonite_babe

I would like to go and study part time around my current job. I am looking at doing a course through learn direct or similar. Where can I go for good careers advice? Where then do I go to find out about being a mature student and getting help funding??

See, cluless :rolleyes: It's so long since I did any study. I have no idea where to start

Any avice would be gratefully received

I'm doing a correspondence course with Home Learning Direct and I have been very happy with it so far:

Something in supervisory management or connected to the cleaning/hygiene industry (in which I am currently working)
Not specifically sure though.

Are there any sites where I can do an online analysis of my career path so far?? It's a bit here and there to be honest

The last course I did was approx 5 years ago. It was stage 1 British Sign Language.

Might be worth phoning your local FE college - the LearnDirect stuff is sometimes offered through colleges (isn't it?) Or phone LearnDirect - from their ads they're meant to be really helpful!
