If you missed out on educational opportunities when you
were younger or if you need to update your skills to compete
more successfully for a job, the Department of Social and
Family Affairs may be able to help.
We run a range of second chance education programmes to
help unemployed people, lone parents and people with
disabilities improve their skills and qualifications.
This booklet outlines a number of ways that you can return
to full-time or part-time education while continuing to get
income support. The programmes range from basic
foundation courses through to third level postgraduate
courses.
If you wish to take a full-time second or third level course,
you may qualify for a Back to Education Allowance
(BTEA). Or, you may continue to get your current social
welfare payment if you wish to participate in other
education, training or development courses.
The Back to Education Programme covers the following
study options:
• Second level education courses
• Third level education courses
• Education, training and development courses
• Part-time education courses.
Also, the Department of Education and Science runs the
Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS)
which is particularly suitable if you have been out of school
for some time.

About machholz
I started this Blog to get out of my system the absolute rage that I have for the corrupt politicians and their Banker Buddies. I’m an ordinary guy, married with kids, and have firm opinions of what is right and what is wrong. I’m not afraid to say it even when it makes me unpopular.
I reproduce news all manner of articles, but will always confirm the source of the articles; this is a compliment to the source of such news pieces. But if you do not agree with this and you are the original author, I will take down any article when requested to do so. I do not assume that the author of the news articles share with my views, I include news articles to give readers another slant to my views or to illustrate what the mainstream news media say on the relevant topic.
The opinions expressed are my own but I do not accept liability for them, If I have offended you or made a factual error please put on record the truth by leaving a comment.
In addition, my thoughts and opinions change from time to time...I consider this a necessary consequence of having an open mind. This weblog is intended to provide a semi-permanent point in time snapshot and manifestation of the various memes running around my brain, and as such any thoughts and opinions expressed within out-of-date posts may not the same, nor even similar, to those I may hold today.
For the record I am currently an Independent political activist and am not affiliated to any political party
