Career Development Loan- Not showing in credit check

I took out a £6500 career development loan with Coop in March 2010 and am paying this off over 60 months.

When doing a credit check, I was surprised to find that this loan does not appear in my credit history at all. It shows that I have a bank account with Coop which has a zero balance but does not show the overall loan balance and that I have been making regular repayments since November 2010.

Is this normal for a career development loan?

    My free credit report from Noddle also shows my Co-op Career Development Loan as a Co-op bank account with a zero balance, FYI.
