I've a few questions about the back to education allowance:
1. I've been on Jobseeker's Benefit for over 6 months and have applied for some FETAC courses in a local college which run for a period of 3 months this spring. If I'm accepted should I just sign on as usual or would I be entitled to BTEA?
2. Looking further into the future I'm going to apply for a Master's starting next September which will run for 1 year. Would getting a back to education allowance now affect me getting it then?
3. Would I even be entitled to this for that masters course since I've already done an undergraduate course (Is BTEA only for people who've not been through 3rd level education before?)
4. If I work part-time between now and next September would that mean that I would defintely not be entitled to BTEA?
