I haven't had to pay for any of my course and they gave me a grant to help with learning costs I feel like I've robbed someone but then - I guess students all get loans to pay for their learning, sorta the same thing, only I don't have to pay it back!
How come you didnt have to pay for anything? xxx

If you are getting certain benefits like JSA or housing benefit etc then you get financial help with the course fees and it doesnt have to be paid back

You may still qualify for paid course fees - it's very simple to apply

Hi everyone, I'm currently wading through SK195 Human Genetics and health issues. Finding it a bit hard going to be honest, but I want to get a degree so will persevere. I did want to graduate in Life Sciences or Psychology, but seeing how hard I'm finding one of the level 1 'openings' courses, I'm not so sure I might have to try a different subject. Maybe humanities...

Excellent news!!!!!

Now you just have to cram it all in while somebody else pays for it! It really is worth taking advantage of. I had to pay for my final two courses and it was really hard having to justify spending the money.

Always worth it though

Good luck and enjoy!!!
