Hey carcon10,

I remember reading how you need a 5 year gap from when you were last studying at a level to when you return to college, so I don't believe there'll be much of an issue. However, since the grant scheme is in a period of change at the moment it is definitely worth checking everything with your local Council or VEC since they admin the scheme.
