Career Development Loan
Options
Hello,
I would like to start a CIM course in September and it's around £1000 for the certificate, then about £1500 for the diploma. I don't have this in savings so I was looking at Career Development Loans, but I don't have a great credit rating. Do the lenders take this into account? Otherwise I am screwed!
Any advice gratefully received

CIM I think should be CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) as this has a certificate level as the first one, diploma as the second etc.Thinking critically since 1996....0
