If you wish to undertake a qualification at Level 3 – Level 6 you could qualify for an Advanced Learner Loan from the UK government. It is easy to apply, your household income is not taken into account and there is no credit check. If eligible you will not have to make any repayments until your income is over £25,725 a year but please keep in mind that Advanced Learner Loans are interest bearing and therefore your repayment amount will be greater than the initial course fees.

To be eligible you need to be:
Aged 19 or over at the start of your chosen course
Resident in the UK for at least 3 years
Studying an eligible course at an approved College or training organisation in England.
