Need to pick your brains. Have always been a journalist, always been employed and earned good money. Always defined myself as a bloody journalist. But now. Am now am unemployed (or self-employed, the same difference currently) lone parent on benefits, having to sell my car and home to avoid bankrupcy, and having to rethink everything. That bit doesn't bother me, dd is 14 months, was an unexpected gift at 40, and I need to secure her future. Want to start training to be a TA now, so that when she starts school I can go fully qualified. I know courses start in September but I haven't a clue where to start looking. Is it possible to get funding for training if you're on benefits? Have I left it too late? Does anyone have any advice on this? Should I be posting elsewhere?
