BETA: Course not recognised ?

    Just got a letter in the post saying my application was unsuccessful. The reason that is given is

    "The course you intend doing is not recognised for BETA (third level option) purposes"

    I am just a bit confused as I can see no reason why the course would not be recognised :confused: The course is a postgrad in NUIG called Health Promotions.

    I can't appeal this decision but the letter says I can make a written request to have my case reviewed by another officer.

    I am a sad panda

    Looks like your course award is either an MA or a P.Dip, which BTEA don't pay for. Will pay for a H.Dip or a Masters in Education
    Check out this citizens info page here.

    Thank you for the info.

    "You can get the Back to Education Allowance for a postgraduate course of study that leads to a Higher Diploma (H.Dip.) qualification in any discipline"

    The course I am intending on doing is a Higher Diploma, so should it be included or is the BETA strictly for people doing teaching?

    Sorry for being so clueless

    BTEA will support H. Dip's in any discipline, but according to the NUIG Website, the course JJayoo is discussing is a P.Dip. Apparently there is a difference, between the two:
    There is a distinction between a postgraduate diploma (PDip) and a higher diploma (HDip). A PDip is Level 9; a HDip is Level 8.
