    Hi there.

    I don't know if this section is right, but it can be moved if not.

    I know this is probably a shot in the dark, but I really want to do a course.
    The problem is, full time education (right now) isn't an option, and the course I want to do is part time evening course. I have next to no savings, living on 100e a week, and no way to support it. Is there any way one could get a small loan (only about 300) or any other support for doing a night time course?

    I will still be looking for employment in this time, so obviously that would help, but cannot be counted on either.

    Thanks for any help.

    Only real option is www.springboardcourses.ie, however you must be in receipt of a social welfare payment. Not aware of any other types of funding.
