    Sure you are entitled to apply for a course. And you are entitled to apply for the dole in the interim. It might be worth your while having a look on www.bluebrick.ie which is the portal detailing all new courses being funded on the springboard initiative (levels 6 - 9) so you may see a course on there that you might not have to pay funds on and still be allowed to retain your benefits. They are part time courses.
