Hi Y'all

Hope you can help.

I just wondered, If I am doing a part-time foundation degree (one day a week) will I still get my ESA benefit?

Thanks

    Does anyone know if I will still get ESA if I study one day a week?

    Thanks

    Are you sure it's a part time course? Many Foundation Degrees are full time when only one day a week at college.

    I don't know yet, the fees might be paid but other than that, I have to look into it. I am not sure about finance for part time degrees (or full-time for that matter!)

    I just want to study to give me a better shot at a job. I am hoping that eventually just doing the FD will help me when I am applying for jobs.
