Hi guys this may sound a bit stupid but was just wondering..can you do 2 part time plc courses at the same time? i mean in the same year. like 1 course on monday evenings and the other course on tuesday evening? would i be able to do this in the same college or in 2 different colleges (i dont mind)
Im unemployed,still looking for work but in the meantime i was thinking if doing something partime, but as i have a lot of time on my hands, why not do 2? Has anyone done this ?
Thanks

I don't see why not as long as you can manage the workload. If you are getting any sort of grant towards the education fees I'd say you wouldn't be allowed though.

U cant get a grant while doing part time can u?

No you do not.

Unless you mean the governments current free fees scheme but from what I can see that is mostly degrees or college certs.

If a course is only one night a week you can do 7 and it makes no difference,you can get your full job seekers once you are still looking for work.

A plc course usually runs during the day and would usually be full time.

I've done 2 part time courses while worked a full time job.
It can be done but not for the faint of heart.
My friends are under direct orders to shoot me if i ever attempt something like that again.

If unemployed then i would highly recommend it because as you said you have the time.

1)It shows you are committed to improving yourself
2)Extra skills/contacts from them
3)It gets you out of the house.
