    Does anyone know of any grants available for private course fees?

    I am part time working and I cant afford a course without getting a loan which i want to avoid as long as possible. Ive gone through loads of websites like citizens info and all that but nothing really seems to be very straighforward!

    Anybody know anything about this?!

    There isn't really grants.

    The only thing I can think of is you can get tax relief on fees

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    If you pay more than 2k a year in fees you can claim the tax back for each year.

    What type of course are you looking to do? I'm doing a distance learning course with a uni in the UK and they have an instalment plan where you pay the fees over seven months.

    When you pay the fees you can immediately claim tax relief
