need info on studying social care...

[americantrish]

where would be a good place to start looking? thanks

at what level?

entry level, i suppose. as i have no background in it whatsoever..

open university or NVQ at a college?

NVQ?
open uni is expensive although i havent seen if i might qualify for any grants, loans, etc. (i want to avoid the whole loan route is possible though.)

do you have a local college that offers this course

nvq

i'm not sure, but i suppose looking locally is a good place to start! (i'm in maidstone so there's bound to be something...)

*thanks

dont know if thesew would have any info.

here

thanks i'm going to send away for some information and see what they come back with... i've just been doing some long thinking about what i may want to do for a career..and social work seems to be the path i want to go down, not for the money (not that it pays that well!), but for being able to help others.

Good Luck!!

thank you!!! =D

The OU paid for my social care degree year, so wortha try. Was an exceleltn course btw and actually led me into Uni

OU - open university?
was it a grant that they paid for your courses?

Yes, they do offer a variety of grants / loans / monthly payment options

cool..thanks for that, peachy. i'll have to check into them as well
