Help re student benefits

HI all...

I applied for a course recently in music technology.. I had a interview today and i was told it was a full time course even though it was advertised as part time... Anyway i received a phone call just now and i was told i was successful in getting a place on this course...

I'm not too sure whether to take this now.. I'm currently working 30hrs week.. and my wife is working 13 hrs a week.. We have a 18month baby girl...

We also have a mortgage.. car.. bills etc..

So can anyone give me advice what i should do? can i claim anything.. if i take this course i know i would have to go part time also that'll mean my wife will have to go full time..

can i claim any student benefits/bursary childcare costs.. or anything?

I really wanted to do this course.. but depending on your feedback i'll see how it goes..
