i was told last year that youd needed to sign on for 6 months to get the back to education thing. so i started signing on at the start of the year... now i find out you need to sign on for 12 months for 3rd level colleges... needless to say im in a pickle now... my friend swim said he was thinking about trying to sign on…

As far as I know if you're in full-time education you're unable to be actively looking for work, and you're not technically allowed to sign on. But it's best to check with your local social welfare office for the official wording on this.
