Working for Work : Chapter 6 : Training & Education

Education, Training and Development Courses

Contents

You may be able to take up education, training or development courses not normally covered by the BTEA by going through the Jobs Facilitator at your local Social Welfare Office.

  • Eligibility criteria are similar to those for the Back to Education Allowance (See leaflet SW70), however periods spent on VTOS, FÁS Training Courses, Youthreach, C.E., Back to Work Allowance, FÁS Job Initiative or Revenue Job Assist do not count towards the qualifying period
  • A Facilitator must approve the course you wish to take up
  • You must satisfy the Facilitator that the course will specifically improve your chance of getting a job
