| Career Development Loans A Career Development Loan is a deferred repayment bank loan to assist you in paying for vocational education or learning. You can apply for a CDL with Barclays, The Co-operative Bank and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Call the CDL helpline on 0800 585 505, 8am-10pm, seven days a week to see if you qualify for a loan - you can book a free call back from a CDL Advisor. Apply well in advance so that if you are turned down you can try again with another bank. Barclays and the Royal Bank of Scotland start accepting applications three months before the start of a course and the Co-operative just six weeks before. You can borrow up to £5,000 for your new career, so give them a call to see if you eligible. This is not just for youngsters! Further information can be seen at www.lifelonglearning.co.uk |
