Help please, volunteer worker needing training funding!

[Bex01]

Hi there everyone,
I have just completed my level 2 work (for children's and young people's workforce) and handed it in.
I rushed it through, as I was under the impression that there was funding available for the level 3 but it was to start after Easter (and I needed to be level 2 qualified). I now find that as I am a volunteer I can't get this funding does anyone know of any funding available (I'm not on benefits) otherwise the college tells me the course will cost me £750 !! I'm not earning and I can't seem to get a job without the level 3, talk about catch 22!

Hi Tutu,
Sorry to hear yours was so much more, I was just trying to see if there were grants about, as I said if I was employed it would be paid for no questions !!

Hi Bex01 can you get in touch with the job centre to ask about possible options, maybe bursary or grant advice would help?

Thanks, Ruthierhyme. I hadn't thought of that, I'll give it a go.
