I WAS on Job seekers benefit for a year. I did not qualify for Job seekers allowance as my husband is working full time. I am currently signing on for credits and in receipt of NO payment. I would like to get onto a CE scheme as there is great oppertunites for training and getting out meeting people through work again. How can I qualify for and get onto a CE scheme.?
 

Looks like your not elligible.
 
A woman I know who was in the same position as me who then had an operation and signed on for "illness credits" ( i think thats what it was called) After a couple of months on illness credits she was able to go onto a CE scheme. Would that be right?

Impossible to comment as we don't know her exact circumstances. Many people don't relate the 'full story' when chatting about their own situations!
 
Thank you for your reply. I am still eager to hear other peoples view on this matter.
 
Go down to FÁS and make your own case as best you can and good luck.
 
I am a CE Supervisor and to the best of my knowledge, you will not qualify if you are not in receipt of a Social Welfare payment. But as previous reply said, the best thing to do is find a CE Scheme vacancy you are interested in and go into your local FAS office and submit an application for the position. They will then check your eligibility. Everyone's circumstances are different and eligibility criteria is different for everyone. Best of luck!
 
Thank you. You are right. I will go down and fill out the application form and see how it goes. Many thanks.
