thanks for the links.
paying your way through bit by bit is one area i'm not completely failiar with, though it's certainly something i would do if possible, or if i don't get accepted to the ctc course. if you don't mind me asking, what sort of salary were you on when you payed your way through training? after reading these forums, it seems that hard work and determination are not enough to guarantee you a job when you qualify, which is a concern.
ideally, i'd want to get on an integrated course. hsbc would only give me 25,000 max. does anyone know if another unsecured loan could be taken from another bank to pay for training.
i admit that i don't know much about the industry, and i regret not persuing this earlier in my life. but everyone has to start somewhere, and i can't turn back time. i'm determined to give myself the best possibility of being accepted from where i am now, which is why i'm putting in as much work as possible to try and catch up
