Basically the government have extended the student loans for degrees to those doing level 3/4 courses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/advanced-learner-loan/overview"&gt;https://www.gov.uk/advanced-learner-loan/overview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also check local authorities as many have funding for those in their area.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The BVNA website usually has a list of bursaries and grants that people can access. I&amp;#39;ve had a few students get sums of &amp;pound;500 or more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;College of Animal Welfare also do a &amp;#39;pay as you learn&amp;#39; scheme where you pay monthly making course fess a little more manageable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are also career development loans backed by the government&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/career-development-loans/overview"&gt;https://www.gov.uk/career-development-loans/overview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;its wortch checking what&amp;#39;s available close to the time of starting college as rules do change on what finance is available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;good luck!&lt;/p&gt;
