A Career Development Loan (CDL) is a personal bank loan which is designed to help pay for learning in Further Education.

The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) pays the interest on your loan whilst you are learning and for up to one month afterwards. You are then responsible for repaying the loan over an agreed period at a fixed rate of interest.

For more information about the CDL and to find out if you are eligible, visit www.direct.gov.uk/cdl

Weather forces college closures

Northumberland College was forced to close its centres this morning (Thursday) due to the ongoing snow.

All students are advised that there will be no lessons this afternoon or evening at any centres. The college expects to open as normal again tomorrow (Friday).

The college phone system is currently down, so we are unable to take any calls.

Engineers are working hard to fix the problem and hope to have the system back up and running soon. In the meantime, you can email advice.centre@northland.ac.uk or use the Live support service via the button on this home page to access our contact centre staff.

Apologies for any inconvenience.
