Hey guys, i'm thinking of taking up a Springboard course. I'm just wondering do you need to be on social welfare for certain amount time before you are eligible? Thanks TJ

Hey I am on a springboard course at the moment and I am only on social welfare since August but I do have a degree which is another way of getting in I think. There is a helpline on the website which is very good I would recommend you give them a quick call and talk to them.

Just apply. Depends on a lot of things, some of which we dont know about. Eg. if they're aren't enough applicants, they change the criteria. Some courses, you have to go for an interview. One lecturer told a prospective student 'turn up that's the criteria for getting on the course'. Honest.
