Job seekers allowance provide cert funding?

kokiyou

Hi there,

Apologies if this is the wrong forum but I didn't see any clear place to ask this. I am a recent graduate and signed on to the dole while searching for a job. I am hoping to get into networking/systems field and I am studying for certificates while I search. These include the CompTIA A+ and Cisco CCENT and CCNA certificates. I was wondering if FAS, or any other organisation provide help with funding these exams if one is drawing the dole or in a similar limited income position?

I would not ask unless I was desperate thank you very much for your time!

Yes I think they do - I think they are called TESG grants - Either go to fas or if there is a LES - Local Employment Service in your locality go there.
