Aqua Adventure Training is a registered Provider with the Learning and Skills Council (LSC). This registration allows our trainees/students to apply for a Career Development Loan (CDL) for our Instructor Training Course (ITC) and/or our Dive Control Specialist course (DCS). Although our DCS course is available through our Dive Now Pay Later© (DNPL) scheme, the ITC is not and, up to now, the trainee has had to pay in full prior to the course starting.

The main benefit of the CDL is that you don't start repaying the loan until your course is completed, by which time you can start earning the money you need to repay the loan. The loan may also be used for equipment, books and some living expenses for those who are on the course full time, 16 hours or more a week is considered full time by the LSC.

There are three banks participating in the scheme that you can apply to for your CDL, they are; Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland and Co-operative Bank. The choice of bank you apply to is up to you.

The Learning Skills Council pay the interest on the loan for you during your course/training period and the loan becomes repayable by you about one month after your course/training has ended. This will require monthly payments plus interest for the duration of the loan period agreed with the bank.
