    I am registering with FAS and intend to do a course.

    If these courses are a distance away do I get any money of FAS from travelling and do I get any extra JSA.

    Cheers..

    Is it a part time or full time course you intend on doing? If it is a full time course, you don't receive JSA during it, you get paid by FAS instead.
    Course participant training allowance info is here:

    The info on FAS Training Allowances is here:

    From the above link re: Course participant training allowances:
    If a persons Social Welfare allowance is lower than the standard allowance, FÁS will pay the standard allowance for the full duration of the course.
    Have a look at the link for the standard allowance depending on your age/payment/length of time you have been in receipt of same.
