JSA and training benefits

rafhelp

Hi,

I am on JSA at the mo. No other benefits.

I was thinking of starting a advanced diploma course which will cost money.

Now there are two courses ranging from £600 to £4000

I wanted to ask if I wanted to do these course (nationally recognised) would I be able to get any help with paying for them. Especially seeing that completing the course would drastically improve my chances of finding work?

have you thought about a career development loan?

Sorry the jobcentre do not have the budget for this. The only time they may assist with training is if it will quickly move you into employment. i.e. forklift licence expired. It will take a while to get you into employment so still costs the government.

Is there a guarantee that you would find work with the diploma
