Training

I'm ready to move on.

I'd like to write for a wider range of publications, in more depth. Therefore I am interested in studying the 'Narrative Non-Fiction' short online course run by the City University of London. The course runs for 10 weeks, (one 2-hour session a week), and costs £395 (No VAT). Further details are at https://www.city.ac.uk/prospective-students/courses/short-courses/narrative-non-fiction  Alas, the course cannot be paid for in installments and I can't afford the £395 in one lump sum.


I would like to know if you, or anyone you know, can advise me on where I can obtain a grant, bursary, or loan to enable me to study this course.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
