i dont think so

[Danny]

my college are expecting me to pay 235 pound for my IT course that im on should i pay it or tell them were to shuv it :shock:

[hesslevtr]

i had to pay 450 for my electricians course

[Danny]

well to be honest mate i ent got that sorta money well not to spend on college funds anyway lol

[Danr]

You'll have to pay it mate.

[CampDavid]

I'm going on a week long IT course in November. £1800.

Don't pay it. Go work in the high speed catering industry. Who needs education

[Clouds_mate]

£235 is a small amount to pay for education.

What was the reason they asked for it?

[Simo]

Its your education... your future... if you dont value that at more than £235, then dont pay it. ;)

[Chris]

Ooooo, just think, that could go towards a new mod on your car.......... come on mate, get real, If you want the qualifications, then you've gotta pay out.... either that or they will chuck you off the course, then you could sign on the dole and live off the rest of us.

Chris :)

[hesslevtr]

end of day you will probley earn more then that in a week when you become qualified thats the way i look at it

[Danny]

yeah true ill have to see what i can do

[hesslevtr]

pay it off in installments if you can

[Danny]

i dont think i can mate thinks its 1 payment

[CampDavid]

Go speek to the college. They can probably help you out, they may well be able to aid you in spreading costs or waving the fee

[grantsmith1985]

mate thats not really a bad price. I paid £850 for my gym instructors course and that was just for the real basic training, nothing even advanced.

[hesslevtr]

if i wanted i could of done mine in installments over 3 terms

[Tupps]

Pay it tbh....be better in the long run

[Didz]

well that £235 pound could make you alot more money than that in the future!! the more qualifications you have the more money you will earn!!!

[DevilDamo]

£235... Is that it? As people have said, is it worth spending £235 which will have a major impact on your future? I'd look at sourcing that kind of money. The college should be able to sort you some kind of finance/installment plan.

And it depends if you want to do the course...

I'm in my last year and I had to pay £650. Not that much compared to the other years. In the past, my employers have paid/sponsored me but for the last two years, I've had to source uni fee's on my own.

[grantsp51]

why are you all paying for college
befor i got my aprenticeship i was at college and got travel expenses paid for me

[Robb]

£235, not that much?

cant your rents lend or even better pay you the money, as its for your 'education'...

[DevilDamo]

Actually... grantsp51 just said something that reminded me. You shouldn't have to pay for college fee's if you're 19 or under!?! :-S I sure didn't.

[Barry123]

some peeps are paying £3k a year for a degree.

£2-300 is nothing.

[James]

My grandads trying to make me go to collage so i can take over his business in 3 years... I dont really know if i want to do electrics and shizzle.. i cant even wire a plug up. Mind you on the good side i get

2 workshops;
A van;
His contacts (Mcains and Sainsburys being his main ones :o)

So I got to have a hard think on if im going to collage or not :(

[Barry123]

do it cloudo. At least you'l have some sort of professional qualification. so you have something to fall back on.

Do it whilst you are still a young whippersnapper.

[James]

Already got qualifications ads :P Im a welder/fabricator... I just dont do it.

[Barry123]

can never be over qualified.

stick your fat fingers in as many pies as you can :cool:
