    You may not be eligible for BTEA, not all courses are covered under the scheme. There also is restrictions on the amount of time you have been out of full time studies, and the relevance of the course to your previous qualification. It's also possible the criteria for eligibility will change between now and Autumn 2010.

    If you are unemployed and genuinely seeking employment, then by all means go and sign on, but don't sign on for the sake of you might being eligible for a scheme that you won't be able to take advantage for another couple of months.
