    Again a friend of mine has asked me to look into this for him , Basically he was claiming Sick Benefit for about 1 year due to not been able to work , he then was giving the OK from the Doctor so then transferred onto JSA while he is looking for work. The question is Can he claim BTEA if he goes back to college to complete a Masters ??

    The postgraduate option of the BTEA scheme is only for people who wish to take:

    a postgraduate course of study that leads to any Higher Diploma (H. Dip.) qualification in any discipline, or
    a postgraduate Diploma in Education (Primary or Secondary teaching).
    Other postgraduate qualifications including a Master's degree are not recognised for BTEA purposes.
    You will not get the BTEA if you already hold a postgraduate qualification.
