Possible to access the BTEA if one already received this allce in the past ~22yrs ago

Hi all,

Anyone know if it is possible to access the BTEA if one already received this allowance in the past, about 22 years ago.

Thanks,

Priscilla.

I didn't think the BTEA existed 22 years ago!

Just checked, the BTEA was availed off from 1992-1995, how time flies!. What do you think, any chance it could be obtained a second time?.

Yesm you can avail twice but ...

BTEA (SLO/TLO) will not be approved in respect of a person who holds a qualification equivalent or higher than the qualification for which the BTEA application has been received. However, consideration will be given in certain circumstances i.e. length of time since obtaining the first qualification, efforts to get employment with qualification already held and periods of unemployment since obtaining first qualification. The main consideration in such cases is that the proposed further qualification will substantially enhance the person's employment prospects.
A BTEA participant who fails to complete, or drops out of a course will not be permitted on to the scheme to pursue a different course unless the Department is satisfied that certain circumstances pertain. Similar to the above, the main consideration in such cases is the enhancement of the person's employment prospects.
