Many thanks to you all for your contributions, they are really appreciated.
It may well be that I have to take the mortgage route and get my parents to borrow the money against the house to help me pay for this training.
I shall explore as many avenues as possible, before commiting to anything.
There are some loan companies available that offer unsecured loans, but they normally like evidence of earning.
My quest continues ..... i'll let you know what happens.
Many thanks again for all your help.
