    they won't give you a definite answer but no they aren't they just say they are waiting to hear about funding however your local social welfare officer might fund you a portion you can normally make an appointment through your dole office.

    Hey,
    Ya I was set up with a 36wk course there so they should be able. I know how hard it is...just keep leaving msgs until they answer. I hate being fobbed off :mad:

    does it have to be a course on their books or can it be any fetac course

    I think it has to be on their books but if it isn't ask them could you could help from them with payment as you can't use their courses but still wish to do a course they may fund you 500 euro toward the cost of the other course...that was the deal my officer was trying to figure out until i found this course. Cos I had done the placement program and had gotten nothing from it.

    Was it a course they did before and aren't doing now or something?

    Definitely talk to you fas officer and see what they can do and kick up a big stink too :mad:
    But I'd say they can work something out. I know mine was saying is the max fas will give towards a course that isn't being run by fas is 500 but that is something anyway...and call the course people too and find out their story.
