I'm planning on re-taking my A Levels at 20. Where can I get funding?

At the start of the academic year (September) I'm going to be 20. I have applied to re-do my A Levels but as I am over 19 I'll have to pay for it myself. I work 15 hours a week that I cannot afford to give up so please don't say about Job Seekers Allowance unless there is a way around it. Can someone please list all the best places to get funding for my AS's and A2's, preferably grants. Links directly to application forms will be much appreciated.

Thanks

    If you will be studying full-time you coudn't claim benefits anyway, including Housing Benefit, they would all be stopped (if you're renting you'll have no choice but to study part-time or not at all). You can study part-time and all benefits continue as normal.

    Your earnings are too high for JSA anyway and HB is the only other benefit you can claim at your age.

    I'm really sorry but there are no grants available to anyone returning to study A-Levels or other Level 2 or 3 qualifications. All student must support their own living costs unless they attend university (before they turn 19 their parents can claim tax Credits for them).

    If you have already got 2 A-Levels at C or above you will also have to pay 100% of the course fees I'm afraid, the Skills Agency will fund all or some of it if you don't have those so speak to them and the college.

    I'm very sorry but you will have to decide how you will support yourself while you study and get help from benefits if youstudy part-time.

    while i replaced into in employer, I had a competitor who offered products at value. I requested him how in hell he envisioned to make a earnings. He pronounced, "i'm going to make it up with quantity". i don't understand how your question makes any experience and that i don't understand the respond above, yet perhaps they understand some thing that i do no longer. perhaps Obama can clarify it to the two one individuals. you realize, like, he says that national well being care will "shop you funds". he's the Harvard Grad. ok!
