Some Level 3 courses may require you to apply for an Advanced Learner Loan. This loan will pay for your course fees while studying. You maybe be able to access the bursary fund to support your study. This can help alleviate the cost of travel, childcare and provide you with the relevant materials and technology you need to complete the course.
There is also an opportunity for childcare and transport to be paid while completing your Qualification.
On site we have a Montessori Nursery, where childcare can be provided while you complete courses at the college.
