2 year part time course -no finance available

marrbett

Hi,
My DD will be starting a course to become a qualified RAD dance teacher in January, she'll be 19. Unfortunately this course does not qualify for student loan finance (total cost for both years is just under £6000).

She's saving like mad and doing as much as she can to get cash, but I wondered if we have any other options for financing the course-other than getting a 0% credit card and paying it off that way.Thankfully it can be paid in 4 installments.

anyway, thanks for reading

Not many suggestions, but many banks offer "career development loans" which are underwritten by the government. You might explore whether any of these might be suitable.

I think it's only Barclays and Co-op who offer CDLs these days, and I seem to recall that at one point Co-op pulled out of the scheme, although there's still a page about them on their website.

This is your starting point though:
