    Hi all. I was wondering if anyone knew how/when/where the information is regarding the waiving of the fee for the NUI Certificate course if you qualify for Back to Education (as I do). Beyond stating that the fee is waived it doesn't elaborate on it.

    When registering for the coarse you just bring you letter for back to education allowance, i think that sorts it, best of look if you're doing the course, i did it and found it great..

    One final question if I may, does anyone know where I can find information on whether the foundation course allows you to actually claim BTE? I know that if you qualify you can get the fee waived but I can't find information on if I can actually claim it or not. :(

    it's not part time it's full time, and it's level 6

    The course is full-time and delivered over two 12-week semesters. There is a minimum attendance requirement of 80%. Examinations take place in January and May.

    Apologies, I was reading another thread and got my subjects completely crossed.
