Living Costs When Returning to Education?

ManyStripes

Hi!

I'd like to return to education of some kind this year, but I've got the problem of income for living costs.  I'm trying to find out about that, but not very successfully, so far.

I'm not looking to go to university this year.  I'd really like to do a one year course in something I'd find useful and interesting.  But it's a question of income during that time.

As for part time work, I'm stuck without references (really no references), and I don't really see how I'm going to have any references soon enough to be able to support myself during study that way.  That's why I'm hoping there's some other way I can survive while studying.

I've tried university before, unsuccessfully, before I had Asperger's diagnosed, and I'm really not ready for that again.

So, what I'm looking for is some kind of funding or something to cover my living costs while spending a year studying in some way.  And, right now, I'm quite open-minded about what kind of stuff to study.

Any ideas or pointers?

  • I'm asking here about education, not references.  If I was asking about how to get a job without references, I'd be asking in the "Work and volunteering" topic.  When I said, "I'm stuck without references (really no references)," I really meant no references at all.  I don't just mean former employers.  I mean no references whatsoever.

    So, I thought I'd look at returning to education in some way or other, and get a job later.

    If I start a course, I can start relatively soon, as it's that time of year.  But, as I say, I will need to deal with living costs.  That's specifically what I'm asking about here.
