Career Transition Partnership

www.careertransitionpartnership.co.uk

In 2009, the Outdoor Instructor Academy training course gained status as a preferred supplier to the career transition partnership. This and other training courses that we offer can help personnel who are leaving or who have left the Armed Forces prepare for their future career.

Professional and Career Development Loans

www.lsc.gov.uk

Professional and Career Development Loans are bank loans that can be used to help pay for work related learning. You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 to help support the cost of up to two years of learning (or three years if it includes one year’s relevant unpaid practical work). The Learning and Skills Council will pay the interest on the loan whilst you are learning and for one month afterwards. The loan can be used to pay course fees or other costs such as travel and living expenses. You can also use the loan to supplement other forms of support such as grants or bursaries. Because the Professional and Career Development Loan is a commercial loan product, they should only be considered as an option once all other student funding options have been investigated. For further information on financial assistance to support your learning, please visit www.direct.gov.uk/adultlearning or contact Careers Advice on 0800100900.
