It's not a scam as such, but it is dubious.

No way would am employer keep a job open for the course duration.

If Barclays only provided the funding, then I doubt they can be held liable for any failure of the firm to provide lessons. If you used a credit card, Section 75 would have made them jointly liable, and you would have a great chance in extending responsibility for any shortfall.

If all the loan did was provide the school with cash, the arrangement is between you and the bank alone. However, stranger things have been known to happen. What does your paperwork actually state? This will be key to any successful pursuit.

The point about Section 75 is that it makes the lender of money used to pay for something defective liable in the same way as the provider of that something. There is nothing in the law that says it only applies to credit cards: in fact it is a kind of accident that people who pay by credit card enjoy that kind of protection since the law was designed to cover loans arranged as part of a purchase.
