Iv been working in the industry for 4 years on nd off 1 year ful time and I'm now looking to complete my tickets to get more involved, I want to get a loan/repayable grant to do ally tickets but havent a clue where to start as the job centre are only Intrested in helping people who don't actually work already 😂 ANY help would be greatly appriciated. Iv heard about local charity grants but can't find any that are good for me

From doing my own research there doesn't seem to be any funding available for nptc tickets. I looked into the 24+ learner loans but you can only apply for them for certain qualifications so no good as well. I work work full time and am trying to save what little I can after everything is paid off every week which isn't a lot, going to take a while.

When I did my Arb level 3 in the Midlands I got a grant from the Studley Trust, which really helped me and I used some of it to pick up my tickets.

 

My initial application was rejected, I think because I was earning money and paying for my own place to live they thought I was doing okay.

 

Explained in my statement how annoying it was that 17 year old lads who weren't interested in college were claiming EMA that I couldn't get. Sent them timesheets from my carework job to show I was doing 30 hours a week there and going in to college 4-3 days a week. Sent in a few bank statements so they could see my outgoings were all on housing, food, running a car (to get to college) and adult stuff and sent them off all my results so far to show that I was a good student and I think they sent me a cheque for around £600 and a nice letter, which paid a fair amount towards my tickets.

I think you are entitled to education up to age 18 but if you left at 16 and didn't use this allowance then I think on certain courses or colleges you can claim this. Don't ask me for any more detail it's just something in the back of my mind from a conversation I had a while back, maybe worth investigating.
