Other half decided after 30 years to change career...massive changes ahead ! After six weeks of applying and getting know where with driving applications he has taken the decision to train as an electrician ... Costing 5700 to do..finance offered as a mature student at nil percent interest and accepted even with IVA still showing ..one happy man !!

well done and wish him every success.
If it's from Student finance England they don't credit check anyway, funding amendment as from next academic year all Level 3 and above learners are eligible to apply. Not dependant on income nor are you credit checked. I feel it will mean more courses accessible to the learner and no need to pay back until you earn in excess of 21,000. Not sure what it will do for the retention and achievement data but should bring some numbers into FE.
