BTEA- part time option

Gee_G

Hi, I am hoping to get into my sw office next week to talk to them about this but I was just wondering does anyone know anything about it?
I didn't think you could get Btea unless it was a full time course but after looking at the sw website it seems there is a part time option also for evening courses etc.
Does this cover the enrolment fees for the part time course as well as being able to keep JSA payment does anyone know?
Thanks in advance

The Part-Time Education Option does not cover any fees, just allows you to retain your Jobseekers payment.

You could ask at the Social Welfare Office to see if there is any funding for courses. Used to be someone called 'the Jobs Facilitator' you would need to see about funding.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
I don't know if I would be eligible for funding as I already received funding earlier this year for another short course that I needed to do. Might talk to them anyway next week and see what they say as the few courses that I need to do
Will really increase my chances of getting a job in my field.

Thanks again.
