Financial help with training??

[allchanging]

Hi everyone.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, hope someone can help me!

I really want to get my qualifications so I can go back into admin (have worked for myself as an office manager and had a brief secretarial job 10 years ago, but have nothing to back up my abilities). The qualifications I need are my OCR's levels 1-3. I have found a distance learning course, but its going to cost near to £900.00 for all 3.

I'm on income support, will they help me with costs for a distance learning course, or do they only do that for a formal college course? Couldn't get hold of Jobcentre Plus today.

Any advice is gratefully received!!
