https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/18430/funding Hi Everyone, Just wondered if anyone knows about any funding for over 25yr olds to start the VN diploma? DART will fund some of it but i have to go to Bottle green which i know is brill but my practice wants me on a 2yr course rather than a 3yren-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/133455?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:06:09 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:9d840109-7c70-4708-a3f9-4fc7be8be454Mark Hedberg<p>Funding depends a lot on your individual circumstances. As a general rule, funding for 24+ years old is often harder than 19-24; that said, after next year I understand it&#39;s going to be all Learner Loans for 24 years old +.</p> <p>In a hamfisted way Learner Loans are an improvement; you don&#39;t have to jump through so many hoops to qualify, and you won&#39;t have to pay them back until you make over 21,000 a year. Which is bad because not a lot of nurses make that much, but good because - well, you don&#39;t have to pay them back, so it&#39;s essentially funding. I&#39;ll bet you sixpence that this loophole will get closed after a year or so. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/133449?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 29 Jul 2012 15:06:12 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:1d70608d-58f4-4fce-b233-d9d488b08eb3Fuzzyduck<p>ProCo in north west will fund over 25s for diploma, 2 year course and provided no other equivelent qualifications held</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
