From the BTEA Guidelines:

1.14.9 Relaxation of the first year of an approved course of study:
The condition that applicants must be commencing the first year of an approved full-time course to access the BTEA has being relaxed from 19 July 2010, subject to fulfilling the other scheme conditions, to allow access after the first year of a course to:

Applicants who have been granted an exemption by the college/course provider based on a previous course or on life experience.
Applicants who had completed the earlier year(s) of the course on a part-time basis and are now unemployed.
Applicants who are permitted by the college/course provider to proceed to the second or subsequent year of a course after having previously dropped out.
In general, to qualify for participation in the BTEA scheme an applicant must be commencing the first year of an approved course of study. Each case should be considered on its merits. The condition may be waived where there are mitigating circumstances that would make it unreasonable to expect a person to have continued the course.

It is not considered that existing graduates should have an entitlement to BTEA to pursue a course at a similar qualification level.
