I am 22 and planning on taking a level 5 accounting technician course in september but i was told that I couldn't recieve back to education allowance as i have already completed a level 5 course with the aid of back to education.
And as I got a maintenance grant in 2009 for a year my friend said that I wont qualify for this either.
So i was wondering what benefits will I qualify for (if any) because I have no work and without any payments I will not be able to afford the course.

Thanks for your help

honestly i dont think you are entitled to any.

You would need to take a course higher than level 5 if you wanted anychance of getting a grant etc.

Isnt there any higher level course your interested in ?
