+24 advanced learning loans and previous study

debtdawg

I thought I would ask this here as I am hopeful that there should be somebody in the know!

I have completed a degree, but wish to undertake an industry relevant qualification - I could go down the masters route but this is very expensive. My local college offers varying courses and mentions the +24 advanced learning loans which would cover the cost of the course, but as I have completed a degree and have had a student loan before, would I qualify for a +24 advanced learning loan?

Well just to answer my own question, if anyone else is looking for this information - previous study doesn't count, so you can apply for a 24+ loan for study even if you have studied at a higher level previously and had a student loan for it (according to the finance and bursary department of my local college)

Yes that's right, just make sure that the course you want to do is eligible for the funding and you should be ok. You will need a funding and offer letter from your college which will include all the information you need to make your application to Student Finance.
