what to do

[BrieAndChilli]

i think i want to pursue accounting, i did one year of it at univeristy (15 years ago)

options seem to be open univeristy (would only get tution fee loan so would still need to work and dont think i would be able to cope as just working part time and loking after 3 kids is hard enough)
local university - would be able to get student loan which would cover shortfall from me giving up work
straight to CIMA or ACCA but not sure if would be able to get student finnace for this?
