It is possible to get a Professional and Career Development Loan to help with the costs
of training 'Professional and Career Development Loans are bank loans
that can be used to help pay for work related learning. You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 to
help support the cost of up to two years of learning (or three years if it includes one
year's relevant unpaid practical work). The Young People's Learning Agency will pay
the interest on the loan while you are learning and for one month afterwards. The
loan can be used to pay course fees or other costs such as travel and living expenses. You
can also use the loan to supplement other forms of support such as grants or bursaries. Because
the Professional and Career Development Loan is a commercial loan product, they should only
be considered as an option once all other student funding options have been investigated. For
further information on financial assistance to support your learning, please
visit www.direct.gov.uk/adultlearning or contact
Careers Advice on 0800 100 900.'
Our learning provider registration number is: 10348.

This year's Summer School will follow the
pattern of recent years, with morning workshops on most Wednesdays,
Thursdays and Fridays from mid-July to early September.
This year there will also be an evening session every Tuesday.
Morning workshops will be from 9.15 to 12.30 and evening sessions from 6pm - 8pm.
The morning classes will be held at
The Coach House, Quarry Road, Headington, Oxford or at 10 York Road,
Headington Oxford OX3 8NW and the evening classes at 28 Beaumont St in central Oxford.
The classes are open to everybody, and during
the course of the summer beginners, experienced pupils, students in training
and teachers of the Technique will come along to join together in mixed classes to
explore the Technique.
The Director of the course, Stephen Cooper, finds the summer classes
a refreshing opportunity to
work with all levels of experience of the Technique. The classes
also act as a forum or meeting place for everybody who is interested in the
technique, in learning about it and in exchanging views and ideas about
it.
Details of the summer school (dates, prices, etc) can been
viewed at SummerClasses2010
