DRO and learning fees

Posts: 260 Forumite
Hi all,
I'm half way through a DRO and would like to do a course next year, to improve my employability. I'm currently employed, but want more...
The training provider I want to use doesn't accept Adult Learning Loans (which are gov funded and not means tested) and I'm obviously ineligible for a normal loan.
Has anyone found a way around this situation?
I know the obvious answer is to save up for it... but my income would be increased after training which would cover repayments, whereas I'm currently enjoying less than £50 excess cash after outgoings.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Wait until your DRO completes before you do anything.
