Hi just wondering if a person who sat the L/C in 2009 and will have completed a PLC COURSE in may 2010 is entitled to any S/W during the summer months whilst waiting to see what other education options if any come available in the Autumn.

If you are finished a course of study and are not "between years" then you should be eligible to sign on. Payment will depend on a means test.
From the JA operational guidelines on the SW website. JA Disqualification - course of study
The legislation also provides that a person shall be disqualified from receipt of Jobseeker's Allowance while attending a course of study (including school/college holiday periods), except in such circumstances as may be prescribed. The exceptions to this disqualifications are :
persons aged 21 years or over who have been in receipt of JA/ JB for at least 6 months and who are participating in approved courses of education, training or development, and
mature students, i.e. persons over 23 years of age on or before 1st January in the year in which the course of study commences.
