Hope someone can give us some advice. My 17 year old son is currently studying a business course at a college. He has decided he picked the wrong path and so is going to apply to a different college for a completely different course to start in September. I have to say I agree whole heartedly as he was an A* pupil (and very happy) at High School but has obviously been unhappy at College but has persevered and tried to stick it out.
Can anyone advise the procedures and financial implications? I have spoken to the new college and all?s fine there and they see no problem with him starting there, the advice really is about how he leaves the first one? Should he finish the year as he could still get an AS in the computer part of the course or once he has applied to the new college will he have to leave the first immediately? Plus I receive tax credits and child benefit for him and if he leaves early I assume they will stop immediately which would cause us big financial problems.
As I said I do agree with his decision and we have talked at length about it, just need to deal with the practicalities of how to do it.
