BTEA problem

DylanTW28

hi i have applied for btea and last friday i was told the the SW havent even looked at the forms yet. i am starting my course on the 4th of sept (next week) and im a bit worried and heres why,

im 20 and you need to be 21 but MAY get it if iv been on the dole 9months which i have and out of education 2 years which i have ,but i paid 750EURO to get into the course and if i attend the course and come October i get denied for btea im gonna have to drop out as i have no money and i lose my 750 because i attended the course. and it takes a long time to save that money on 100EURO a week, so i woulnt like to lose it.

its just the "you may qualify" that has me worried

what do i do? take the risk and maby lose my money or just not go at all?

I think you do meet the conditions i.e. on the dole 9 months, and out of education for 2 years. They will want you back training rather than sitting around doing nothing. You are not 21 but I would be pretty sure that you will get it. The website says 18-20, so your on the right end of that age group. Go do your course!
