Im starting a PGCE in September and have applied and been granted a maintenance loan of ?8999

I have been out of the UK for 3 and a half of the past 5 years, travelling in different places. Would I still be classed as a UK resident as I haven’t actually ‘lived’ anywhere else during my time away?

Jake Butler Hi Melissa, this is a tricky one and could depend on your registered address. If you’ve just been holidaying or visiting the other countries then you could still be classed as your main home being in the UK for the past 3 years. However, if you’ve been living abroad for longer periods of time it might be tricky. It’s always worth double checking with student finance.

david morris Hi, I am 56 and I have applied to do a certificate in safe guarding. The course cost ?2,400. I would like to know where I can get a grant and or any kind of help to pay for this course if if its half the amount. thank you.

Jake Butler Hi David, as this is not a university based course I can’t be sure on the funding. It sounds unlikely that there will be anything on offer for you but I would suggest contacting the course provider. Hope that helps, Jake.
