It’s a bank loan, so you’ll have to pay it back once you’ve left your course, however you don’t pay interest for the period when you’re in learning. You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 interest free while you’re studying and once you’ve finished studying you pay it back in the normal way. Contact your local bank to find out more or find out more at the Directgov website.
