    Next year I will be signed on to jobseekers benefit for exactly year with unfortunately little results except for the one incident a few months ago when I had when I started a job bridge internship that my case worker had got for me. I was than less than 3 weeks into it but I just didn't find it right for me or the experience that I wanted, I asked if could I be taken off it which caused a circumstantial amount of hassle as it was not a valid reason for leaving which I did understand but just simply did not want to continue with something that I did not enjoy or make me happy and so therefore my money was cut down.Last week I was interviewed about a placement of a course that is exactly what I would like to be doing,this course has got nothing to do with social welfare but rather one I applied to the local college near me which I would be paying for out of my own money. I am fully aware that this course is not guaranteed a job but I feel like I have achieved more on my own when it comes to actually finding placement. Finally getting to the point my question is this, would I be allowed to sign off jobseekers benefit. My reasoning behind it is that I would like to focus more on my own when it comes to this even if I don't get into this course I have applied for more courses (these to have nothing to do with jobseekers or social welfare).Also would the fact that I left an internship without a valuable reason effect my chances of getting into this course, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
