    Cant say for certain. You would need to speak to DSP. Generally the course needs to be fulltime for you to get BTEA but if its part time you might be able to retain your jobseekers payment while doing it.
    Some details on this are here: http://www.welfare.ie/EN/Publications/SW70/Pages/CParttimeeducationcourses.aspx

    You will need to speak to the DSP Facilitator for your area. They can make a decision on whether you get BTEA or retain Jobseekers.

    You should look into the PTEO, it's like BTEA for part-time courses.
