job seekers allowance question

    i have a couple of questions here that i would be very grateful for any help on.

    i am self-employed..but no work coming in..maybe 2 days a week at best...so for the last year i have been on jobseekers allowance...its not the full amount as it was means tested against what i get for the up to two days work i may be doing.

    i also took advantage of the springboard scheme, which means i am doing a course which is paid for through social welfare.

    my questions -

    i may be getting offered some work from a company, this will be a paye job and not me going in as self-employed and billing them.....i am talking ahead of myself here, but i think i might be offered this work.
    now, this work might be offered to me as 3 days a week or full time, i dunno.

    if i get 3 days a week of them, as a paye worker, what do i get, or am entitled to for the rest of the week ??

    if i get full time of them, and i come off any benefits...does my course get taken off me, or do i get to see it through as i have done a good bit of work on it so far ?

    this course i have put a lot of work into is a bit of concern for me, as i am really into it, but cant afford to do it paying for it by myself, and i think it'll stand to me for employment oppertunies at the end of it.

    thanks for anyone who gives me any advice.
