Hi, I am a chauffeur so obviously not very busy over the last year! I have done an online course on chauffeuring and when restrictions ease they will be doing a full assessment including a level 3 first aid qualification. Due to low incline we receive Universal Credit. Does anyone know of any funding scheme that both myself and my wife would be able to apply for? Many thanks

Who is 'they' - the course provider? Is that where your need for funding comes in, to meet the exam costs?
Some councils offer grants for people on low incomes e.g. https://www.harrow.gov.uk/jobs/harrow-earn Have you checked to see if yours offers anything?
