I think it's worth writing to the Home Office regarding this. You can come to the UK and take up an NVQ course, while you work up to 40 hours. It is possible to bring your husband over (many international post graduate students at universities have their entire family with them) and he would be allowed to work. But for more details I suggest you get in touch with the Home Office, or visit http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/.
