Hello,

I am applying for JB tomorrow morning for the first time after being made redundant last Friday.

The question I have is , if I apply to do some evening courses will that affect my JB in a way .

The evening courses would be for Microsoft Certification MCSA and Cisco CCNA at a local college, I am using my redundancy money to do so .
