[QUOTE="Nicktim, post: 86714, member: 6132"] The options I'm aware of are: - Take a gap before the GDL or between GDL and LPC to work full time to get some savings. - See if your firm will allow you to convert your GDL to masters and therefore qualify for a postgraduate loan. - Some GDL/LPC providers partner with loan providers to offer private student loans (not the best interest rates but there as an option if needed) - As a recent graduate of the PGDL at BPP and current LPC student I'd advise against working on the LPC but personally don't see any harm in doing a day of work on the weekend during the GDL if you can find something flexible. You'd have to keep on top of your studies during the week and work in the evenings but it's an option. I would advise against any working during the week as GDL providers can change classes at short notice and are very unsympathetic if you have a part time job. [/QUOTE]
