Can you apply for a adult education loan. They are like study fees for university but only have to be paid back once you earn over £20k .(good luck wit that one)!! I had to fund myself until I qualified then my employer paid me back.

Hey.

I'm currently in a practice where they are paying for my studies, and I had to sign a contract to stay on after completing my course for a certain amount of time. To be honest, I don't mind. They're really supportive. :)
I say hand your cv to other branches maybe and see what you get from it :) No harm in trying.

I would say an svn should expect to be paid nmw, but if you get paid more then that then great :) Some practices don't pay for fees and you will need to get a student loan. Some will pay part, some will pay full and some may pay but get you to sign a contract that you will need to stay on for a certain period after qualifying. Is this an option? Completely depends on the practice. When I was on the diploma I reckon half to 2 thirds of my class were having to fund the course themselves.
