Sorry forgot to add its applied for like a personal loan and you request the amount you want its up to one of the banks to decide. Its worth remembering that the only banks that offer true career development loads are Barclays, The Co-operative Bank and The Royal Bank of Scotland.

Anyone got any experiance of these? are they a good option?

You can get £300-8000 with a CDL to pay for fees and living expences. As to whether its enough to live on with a part time job I hope so, its my plan.
