BTEA to do a Postgraduate Diploma

MrSzyslak

I currently hold a degree in commerce level 8..

Wondering could I get BTEA to do a Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Accounting?

Cheers.

Nope. No more BTEA as soon as you hit lvl 8 as far as i understand.

You can get BTEA for HDip courses, not postgrads in general or postgrad teacher training afaik

But you have to be moving up a level aswell.

Postgraduate courses

Only postgraduate courses in Ireland are eligible for the BTEA scheme. You can get the Back to Education Allowance for a postgraduate course of study that leads to a Higher Diploma (H.Dip.) qualification in any discipline or a Graduate Diploma in Education (primary and secondary teaching).

Other types of postgraduate qualifications are not recognised for BTEA. The only exception to this is where a college has admitted a person without a diploma or primary degree to a Master’s course on the basis of relevant life experience - in these cases the person may be entitled to BTEA.

You will not get BTEA if you already have a postgraduate qualification.
