    Hi,
    Sorry I can't help but I toally understand where you're coming from. Quite a few years ago I got made redundant after 4 years of doing IT support. I then found that even though I had the work experience I didn't hold the formal qualification from microsoft employers wanted. This qualification costs just over £3k. I then had the same situation you had in no-one will fund it, loan you it or give you a gran for it. And of course if you're unemployed you can't get personal finance. Catch 22 isn't it?
    Hope you find a solution.
