Student Loans
Trainees who are not on a salaried course can access student loans to pay the fees and may also be entitled to a Maintenance Loan (this is means tested). Trainees usually opt to take up the Tuition Fee Loan to cover the costs of training however in some cases trainees choose to pay the fees themselves.
