gem ~ i earn 12k before tax per year... however when i use there entitlement questions i would only get £400 for my course thats if i put the 'household' income in ie everyone who lives here... not mine... if i put just mine in i get £765 for the course and £250 for study stuff

It's just your income, not household. I double checked with one of their careers people in person, it's only household if you are married, in a couple or have your kids in the house.

Hi Pap, glad to see you are feeling a tad better and posting a bit more. The board is just not the same without you.

Just wondered what accountancy course you wanted to do. I am a part-qualified accountant and I haven't even got GCSE maths. And when I went to a brick uni I didn't need maths either, I got in because I was 'mature'.. Well I felt mature at the time. (I was 26!).

Gemmzie is right pap
You should get maximum help and the full £250 grant on your income, and you don't need to have done a levels . You would be claiming as a single person only not part of a household. Your mums and brothers income does not affect it at all.

gem... ahh thats not too bad then... i should be good to go with that then, still wanna save 1/2 though 'just i case'

awww sammy thanks.... as with regards to the courses... i am looking at doing http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?C01B680 i want to be an accountant i decided that a few months ago... i fell money/numbers are the only thing i am happy around i am always working something out/sorting out something i just wanna do it on a bigger scale. I would have no idea how to get into a 'brick' uni?

sm ~ see above, at least i know now that i dont have to rush to get the cash together... and i see what you mean about the penguin, yes he was fun but i think its a new chapter now

Brick uni - you'd need to apply through UCAS but without A Levels you'd need to be a mature student probably as I don't *think* there's an Access course for accounting.

Have you gone through the test on that OU link? It's pretty good to determine where you're at

I want to do that to, part-time Going to do my AAT NVQ next year

Thanks gem i know about teh ucas forms however would i be classed as a mature student at only 22? will i need my alevels? there are prepare to study access courses but no accountant course... you mean the self assesment pack? yes don that and tis all great Do you want to do the same course? wow

Gemmzie

Nah it's 25 for mature student now.

Just been looking at Accounting at normal uni and it's ABB minimum at A Level (must be A maths for a lot of them), even as a mature student, so it's one of those way up there courses like Law etc.

Have a look at:
http://www.cityplym.ac.uk/index.php?h=Courses%20Search&page=01o138

and the Foundation Degree:

(I found the ones closest to you ) The alternative routes are probably the best idea, takes a bit longer but it's a way around the A Levels.

Hello,
I hope I'm doing this right.. new to the forum.. so excuse me if this posting ends up somewhere it shouldnt be..:p

Replying to PAPs posting about not getting rid of a card and spending on it. I've dont that myself and I maxed it up again!:mad: But what it's also done is made me not spend on a CC since. :T So just to say that every cloud has a silver lining. And well done for stopping well before you reached the limit.
We may all be trying to pay off debt but we can't let it take over our lives, we need to have a life outside of that too.
Dont be too hard on yourself.
chin up and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
