    Ok, bit of an unique situation here...

    I was in a level 8 college course. Got to third year. Failed exams and had to drop out. SO I went on the jobseekers and have been on it for nearly two years.

    Now I recently sat the exams I failed as an external student and passed them so I can do my fourth year.

    Would anyone know if I am entitled to get the BTEA for my last year seeing as I am on the social?

    I saw this on their website but I'm not sure:
    Undergraduate courses

    In general you must be starting your third-level course at year one. However, you can apply for BTEA if you:

    Did not complete your course and are returning to the second or subsequent year of your course.

    Are exempt from part of your course because of a qualification you received in a previous course. For example, you have a higher certificate in a course that you now wish to pursue to degree level.

    Completed some of your course as a part-time student, but are now getting a jobseeker's payment and will continue your course on a full-time basis

    Yes, it sounds like you'll qualify for btea. I don't see why you wouldn't.
