Education
So my case manager is kinda rubbish.
And I would like to do something education-y that is cheap (preferably free) to do, and is not too much of a commitment. (something on a once-weekly basis would be ideal - for a set time-span)
Unfortunately, I've got A-levels and stuff, so I can't get the free GCSE courses that are available here. Or any of the level 2 courses that are free if you haven't got a level 2+ qualification.
I've been to uni but had to drop out after 2 years. Only officially completed the first year.
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to cheap/free qualifications or courses, or something like that. I'm in Norfolk (England).
Or maybe where I can get money towards education.
Thanks
(p.s. hope I put this in the right place)

Death is one moment, and life is so many of them.
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad,
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.

I have a-levels and part of a degree, but due to being on JSA I have gotten a few courses for free. If you are on JSA may be worth speaking to the job centre to see if they know of anything, or just go round the local colleges and ask about night classes?
in some places the council does some educational things too, not sure if that's everywhere but I know a few places do

I'm on ESA at the moment (Support Group). I think all the local adult education stuff is at the full price if you're in the Support Group. (I did do a dressmaking course last year at the cheaper rate but I was still in assessment then)
I hadn't thought of night classes. I'm not sure there is much on offer around here though. (also, there's the cost of it  )
Thankyou Shadow :)

I'm under 24, and more loans isn't a good idea (already got 2 years of uni loans)
:(

a lot of night classes have discounts for people on benefits, it's worth asking about anyway :)

Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted.
I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. I tried groups, didn't work out just made my depression a lot worse.
