You’ll usually start repaying your loan in the April after you complete or leave your course. You can make voluntary repayments at any time in order to pay off your loans more quickly.

The best hair & beauty academy in Queensferry
If you want to be pampered like a queen for the day? Pop over to kings academy for all hair & beauty treatments. These ladies really know all there is to know about care & attention to detail.
I love my appointments with Steph! She does an amazing job, is knowledgable with lots of hints and tips to keep my nails healthy and is happy for me to throw all sorts of designs at her which she always brings to life.
100% would recommend doing a course at King’s. Learnt more in a day than 2 years in college really well taught tutor and the staff are really welcoming. I’ve not been in the beauty industry for 10 years and the course has been full of updated information. Couldn’t thank the staff enough for the support before the course during and after!
Staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and always forthcoming with help. 5* courses being delivered here.
Great salon and staff. Would highly recommend. Can’t wait to return for the Indian head spa!
