How does everyone fund all the courses?

[MrsR]

Hi guys just wondered how everyone funds all the courses as there are quite a few and they are costly? Just wondered as it will take me a long time to do the courses I want as I'll simple have to save as have not much free income to play with!

I think allowing a dollar amount or percentage once you've qualified helps. When I do my prices I allow an amount for training. It needs to be counted as one of your overheads.

I have a standing order that goes into a post office account, this is for tax bill and courses. As it goes directly out of my account, I don't miss it.

also, if I have enough money in my biz account, I just sign up for a course.

i also save a % of my net earnings for courses and like already said you dont miss it and cutting down on splurges is a good tip also

Its worth while speaking to your local college too, anybody who hasnt already got a level 2 qualification is entitled to free course fees to take a level 2 qual (eg NVQ2 BTEC...) Sometimes your college willwaiver the fee even if you already have quals if they think you would do well on a course, but would suffer financial hardship from paying course fees......:hug:

Saved for 8 years, the savings took a bit of a beating when we had kids, so it took longer than what we hoped, but we got there in the end!
The courses Im doing now, Im paying for from working! :green:

First course, saved like mad and since then, just like when I buy products I use the profits form my nail work to pay for the courses.:green:
And if that fails I give Paul the puppy dog eyes and he helps me:lol:

contact the company you want to train with and ask them if you can pay them a bit at a time and book the course when you have paid for it
