OnLine FAS Course Payment?

    Can anyone tell me if you get any payment for doing an OnLine FAS course? After I finish this Jobs Club, I'll be going back onto courses. Basically I need to raise the money until I can get back to 3rd level education, and although I'll still be looking, so far Job hunting is getting me nowhere. I did the ECDL and there are a few other local courses, mainly relating to business, and I want to go back to a Software Development course in college so doing computing courses is the best for me. I could do those, and get the full time €208, but I'd think the online Javascript and programming courses would be more suited to help me brush back up on my skills in that specific sector. So can anyone tell me if I get any payment for doing the Online courses? That way I can retain the specific skills I'll need for my course and also be raising the funds to get into the course. (I'm on €41 per week on JSA so theres no point in doing something which keeps my current rate).

    And I looked on the FAS site, before anyone asks, and I can only find information on Full and Part Time courses, and it doesn't clarify wether an online course is or isnt related to either of these.

    There is no allowance paid for those taking the online (eCollege) Fas courses.

    Training Allowances
    Course Participant Training Allowances
    Notes
    These allowances are available for all FÁS courses with the exception of: Evening Courses; eCollege and Screen Training Ireland.
