How to fund training for Cat B licence?

Hi Everyone,

I am hoping to start training for my Cat B aircraft tech licence this September at AST in Perth.

I have been looking into options for funding, and so far have come up with the Career Development Loan, which you can get up to £10,000 (and no repayments for 2 years). But this still leaves a shortfall of near enough £13,000 just for the course fees!

So far i have been unable to find any other forms of funding, except personal loans, and if I was to be accepted, the monthly payments would be something as a student I cant imagine I would be able to afford!

I have been told the work load of this type of course is very intense, and therefore I assume I would not be able to work while I study. Is this the case?, as working would make the loan for the remaining amount a more realistic option.

So if any of you out there have been in my situation, or have any advice it would be great to hear from you!

Thanks.
