Career Development loans
Did you study the wrong things at university? Did you do the wrong A levels?
Often when you are young, you don’t really know what you want to do with your life. If you are a person that studied a useless subject at a level and degree level, but your lack of qualifications are stopping you from making progress with your career, you should consider a career development loan.
This will allow you to study the subjects that are relevant to your chosen filed of work.
As you may already have a good career and good credit history, many lenders may be able to offer career
development loans at good interest rates.
Such career loans are usually un secured so you do not need to sign away your family home. You may need to borrow money to live on while you have time off work to study, or have a reduced wage because you work part time.
Course fees are also not cheap these days, and you may need money for petrol and car expenses for getting around.

Career development loans usually have good terms where you can pay them back over many months or years. You should always try and get your existing company to pay for your training before you think about getting a loan to pay for it.
Always consider your monthly budgets and outgoings and think what may happen if your bills or mortgage payments go up before committing to repayments on a career development loan.
If you have been unfortunate in the last 6 years and have CCj’s, defaults and other missed payments and have bad credit histories, you still may be able to get a career development loan as many lenders have an open minded view of such past payment problems.

I would always associate career development with being a mature student and I presume that this article is referencing the mature student market. Its a little bit misleading as it could also reference those taking a professional course at the same time that they are doing their studies. All very unclear. Can anyone shed some light??
Career development is a widely touted phrase but no one really knows exactly what it means.
Martin, I agree, I’ve never heard of a career development loan. The things thAT these loan providers peddle is unbelievable. You couldn’t make it up could you!
