    Hi guys this may sound a bit stupid but was just wondering..can you do 2 part time plc courses at the same time? i mean in the same year. like 1 course on monday evenings and the other course on tuesday evening? would i be able to do this in the same college or in 2 different colleges (i dont mind)
    Im unemployed,still looking for work but in the meantime i was thinking if doing something partime, but as i have a lot of time on my hands, why not do 2? Has anyone done this ?
    Thanks

    I don't see why not as long as you can manage the workload. If you are getting any sort of grant towards the education fees I'd say you wouldn't be allowed though.

    No you do not.

    Unless you mean the governments current free fees scheme but from what I can see that is mostly degrees or college certs.

    If a course is only one night a week you can do 7 and it makes no difference,you can get your full job seekers once you are still looking for work.

    A plc course usually runs during the day and would usually be full time.

    I've done 2 part time courses while worked a full time job.
    It can be done but not for the faint of heart.
    My friends are under direct orders to shoot me if i ever attempt something like that again.

    If unemployed then i would highly recommend it because as you said you have the time.

    1)It shows you are committed to improving yourself
    2)Extra skills/contacts from them
    3)It gets you out of the house.
