BTEA and the "Second Chance" scheme?

    If you have previously attended 3rd level but left without a qualification (I never did more than my 1st year) are you then not entitled to return to 3rd level as long as there's been a gap of at least 5 years during which time you haven't pursued any post-secondary education and in turn you can get BTEA under something called the "Second Chance" scheme? (Provided you meet the qualifying criteria for BTEA of course - which in my case I would)

    I phoned the BTEA section and was told by the person there that she'd never heard of the "Second Chance" scheme? :confused: Thanks.
