Hello.

Well, I guess it depends excatly what you want to do ...technology is a bit of a wide term. However, have you looked at the Open University?

You can get funding for the courses ...You apply through the OU, not through the students loan company as you would with a traditional brick university.

Also, you can study while you work.

Could be worth a look.

Would you like to go to university? You can get a student loan and a maintenance loan. There are also various means tested grants that you can get based on your families income and many universities offer their own grants as well.
 
Hello,

as long as the course is good, it really doesn't matter to me if it is a college or university.

Waltham forest college seems to be a good college.

Thanks!
