    The grants are gone? :eek:

    I did it years ago but half of my class wouldn't have been able to do it without the grant.

    you can still get grant from your local VEC,i.e im in mayo, so i apply to them and i dropped out of my course this year but will still get grant because this is not a level 8 course like the one i dropped out of was..if i was to do another level 8 course i would not get grant

    Found out when i got my course and checked that i wont get the grant like i thought i would.
    They only give you grant if you have only done one year of a levl 8 course,i wont get one because ive done three years..
    .sickened :(but im hoping il scrape through the year..at least ive three crazy drunken years behind me,time for me to be getting a bit of sense now so at least i wont make mistakes of using grant for drink instead of rent!:p
