L O A N S   &   F I N A N C E

Before immediately applying for any loans or funding it should be noted that all our students are encouraged to pay for their course fees independently. By working part-time on non-college days students gain a financial independence and learn how to manage their financial affairs. RA realises that parents are often contribute towards student fees and we do try to assist parents and students in sourcing whatever financial help may be available to them. We are also delighted to offer full-time students ‘NUS’ cards, offering thousands of discounts both locally and nationally as we endeavour to assist students through the 3-year course.

Career Development Loans
  • Renaissance Arts are registered with the skills funding agency. Our PCDL provider number is: 20990
  • The training period for which the SFA will pay interest on is 24 months. Students are eligible to apply and receive the loan for years 2 & 3 of the course.
  • A professional and career development loan is a bank loan. You make an agreement with a participating bank. Once you have stopped learning you pay the bank back in the normal way.
  • The difference with a professional and career development loan is that the Skills Funding Agency pays the interest on the loan while you’re studying – and for one month afterwards. (24 months)
  • After this you will pay interest at the fixed rate when you take out the loan. Interest rates on the loans are set so they are competitive with other ‘unsecured’ personal loans that are commercially available.
  • Currently, banks offer professional and career development loans at a reduced consumer rate of 9.9% per annum, equivalent to a typical APR of 5-6% over the lifetime of the loan, however, interest rates may vary from bank to bank. For further information, consult the participation banks.
  • Don’t forget that a professional loan is not for everyone and there are other types of financial help available.
Working Tax Credits (Direct Gov.)

You may be able to get Child Tax Credits for your child up to their 20th birthday, if they are in education that counts for Child Tax Credit. Education counts for Child Tax Credit as long as it’s full time ‘non advanced’ education. Your child needs to have started, enrolled or been accepted onto a course before their 19th Birthday.
