About Professional Career Development Loans
Professional and Career Development Loans are bank loans to pay for courses and training that help with a career or help get someone into work.
Prospective students may be able to borrow between £300 and £10,000. Loans are usually offered at a reduced interest rate and the government pays interest while they’re studying. Repayments don’t start until after the course ends.
Courses can be up to 2 years in length and don’t have to lead to a qualification ; they just have to help with a career. The student should be 18 or over.
