FAS course while on Jobseekers Benefit

    I am currently on jobseekers benefits while I am working part time. Unfortunately, the part time work I am getting is very little and, some weeks, not really worth my while. I'm looking to do some sort of online FAS course while working part time but am unsure if courses are meant for those who are not working at all?

    Also, if I am eligible for an online course, are there any benefits included to pay? I am currently getting about 70-80% of the full dole as it is if I dont work any day during the week.

    Also, can anyone tell me how good/bad these courses are? I'm thinking of doing an IT course, maybe something related to Photoshop or Dreamweaver. Is it worth doing? Even if I don't get a job linked with this type of course then I think I might enjoy them anyway if they are taught well.

    Thanks in advance :)
