Choosing Your Learning - A Career Development Loan (CDL) helps you to pay for the learning that's best for you. And the great thing about it is that you can use it with a wide range of learning providers, from local colleges to private
training companies. But only you know which is the right course and provider for you. The choice is yours. So it's worth spending some time making sure you make the right choice. This leaflet covers some of the questions you need to ask yourself and learning providers – and there will be more that you can think of in relation to your own circumstances and requirements.
