Could anyone give me some information on psych conversion

HI I;m qualified teacher looking to retrain as clinical psych - also a single parent supplementing with UC. I'm looking to do the psych conversion course online and then later perhaps an apprenticeship Psych associate course . Can I access student loan, does anyone have any experience of this whilst on UC? Children are 11, 15, 16 also would I still be eligible for further funding later if instead I choose to train as an art therapist or occupation therapist. I realise the OC course allows further funding but is this the case for a student loan or just the NHS payment? Lots of questions in one go .. sorry :smile:
