    You may not get an apprenticeship because you have a level 3 qualification already. This was a
    Problem for me. I couldn't do one due to having too high a qualification for it despite being in a different area.
    Mortgage free wannabe 

    Actual mortgage stating amount £75,150

    Overpayment paused to pay off cc 

    Starting balance £66,565.45

    Current balance £56099

    Cc around £3200 

  • you wont get student loans because you already applied for it but you may be able to get student loans for a part time uni degree. keep that in mind.

    Also careful with the amateur lawyer stuff at the job center, they can make your life unpleasant whether you do work placement or not. best thing to do is just be volunteering already.

    as stated, you're looking to work in a niche market, and imo do a degree that gives you options. if you're good at art, you'll be good either way.

    If you came to me with a level 3 qualification in plumbing and wanted to do a L3 in business admin, you would be funded by the SFA.
