Hi

Wonder if anyone could give me any advice please.
Am currently working part time 16 hours and have a partner who works full time, we have 4 children, 10, 4, 3, 2.
We currently receive wtc and ctc.
I am wanting to leave my job and persue something i've always wanted to do which is get into the beauty and hair industry. I am now 36 and my 2nd eldest starts school this year so am thinking now is my time!
I have completed a home learning diploma in beauty therapy course in the evenings to make sure its something I want to do and i passed with distinction today :j
I have called my local college and the days that the part time course runs on are the days that I work, so I would need to give up my job in order to persue my dream! Part of me worries about this as I do enjoy my job and its 5 mins up the road, but to be honest I dont make any money from it as it all goes towards nursery fees etc, but then I know if I dont do this soon i never will.

There is no way that we could afford the £1500 college fees, childcare fees, course equipment fees etc with me working let alone with me giving up my job to do this. So what I am wondering is am I entitled to any help with all of these. When I called the college they said if i was claiming JSA then they would help me with childcare costs/equipment costs and would have no course fees....can I claim for JSA though if i leave my job? If not what can I claim for?

Thanks for any advice

Just a word of advices to any one looking to start the AAT.

Whatever you do NOT USE HOME LEARNING COLLEGE. They are day light robbers, dishonest and conniving.

I was sold Module one Basic accounting the old qualification at the cost of £895.00. I was told by the guy who came to my home I was signing on to the Full level certificate in accounting at that price. However in the middle of module one I called to ask for the next module because I felt I could study for two modules being out of work. I was told that the cost £895 only covered module one.

I had paid £400.00 via installment, when I refuse to pay the remaining £495.00 My details were sold to A credit collecting agency called Gothia's. After more than 5yr Gothia'e then sold it to MMF: National Doorstep & Legai Collection Specialists.

I wrote to AAT 5yr or more ago, they did nothing besides all the complains for students. I also wrote to HOME LEARNING COLLEGE they could not care. All they were concern with was destroying my credit history and after more than 5 yr still doing so.

PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. ITS IS COSTLY, DEPRESSING AND SOUL DESTROYING..
