Please note that official SFE/SLC reps only reply to these threads during normal office hours so don't expect a reply until Tuesday. FWIW - adult and mental health nursing courses are exceptions for student finance. SFE will advise you on the other courses.

Hi there,

The last two courses are exceptions, however the first two are not: your previous study will be taken into account for either of these.

Thanks, Graeme

I don’t understand ? Online it says leading to QTS is an exception, and i have had two different advisors on sfe tell me they’re exceptions too?
