Lone Parent /£15 training premium / learn direct

Hello,
Hoping someone can advise me on this as I'm getting really confused and have received some conflicting information.
Basically I have just started an ECDL course with learn direct which is free as I am a lone parent. For doing this I am entitled to a training premium of £15/wk for a year providing I do at least six hours a week. One adviser has told me I need to do at least two hours a week in the learn direct centre to qualify ( and can do the rest at home), another has told me I need to do at least the full six in the centre. So I don't know which is correct and don't want to abuse the system as it is a very useful course and will help me get a new job when littlies are older (youngest only 8 months).
Any advice would be appreciated, spent ages searching the web but still don't know the answer.
thanks
Rachel

When you say advisers, are you talking about people from Learndirect or from JCP? Your Lone Parent Adviser should give you the definitive answer.0

Does anyone know if the ECDL course with Learn Direct is still free for lone parents? When I asked I was told it is now only for maths and english courses? thanks0
