1. Almost all schemes which claim to be able to transform 25 pounds into 175 pounds overnight are scams, to be put straight into the dustbin. The exception, however, may be a little-known new initiative from the government which effectively does just that.

2. Account scheme is the latest government scheme to persuade us of the value of life-long learning.

3. The first million people to apply- and there appears to be a long way to go before this limit is reached- are eligible for a 150 pounds grant towards the costs of studying, provided that they contribute at least 25 pounds of their own money.

5. Whilst there will not be government money to encourage you, for example, to do an evening class in cake decorating, there could be assistance if you are planning to update your internet skills.

6. There is also the opportunity to benefit in future years from 20 percent off the cost of training.
