For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You dont get any help - this is what i was about to post - jobcentre expect you to do a course off your own back AND find work and go to work! You dont get any finacial help. If you go back to college full time as well you will not be able to claim any benifits just a mature student grant which is nothing! I dont work at the moment either and im 24 wanting to do a course in A level Travel & Tourism. Im totally skint but if i want to do it i have to pay. Ive decided now to do one online so i dont have to wait till september plus i can do it all from home. £210 for 2 a levels or £600 for a degree with home uk college online. Jobcentre suck! They tried to bribe me into going to in training when i was at stage 3 of my claim. They told me i would go 4 days a week and they would pay for my to do an NVQ in something i wanted to do. Guess what! Got there and it was "how to write your CV" nothing to do with learning or NVQs so i walked out...because i live in a house with my mum and her partner who earn over 50K i dont get any education grants from the Gov at all. I think they should stop handing out money so easily to people on the dole and use the money to send them back to college instead! Unreal really!
I hope this helps anyway xx

forgot to put you can still claim jobseekers ONLY if your still looking for full time work whilst your at college, and proving you are doing this every week, you will also be asked to quit your course if you do get a 40 hour a week job thats what they told me or you cant claim jobseekers anymore at all

I thought if you're over 21 you're classed as a mature student.
Anyway, fabemmy, this site may give some ideas.

If you know where you want to study look on that college's site for details of possible support
