    Taken from BTEA operational guidelines
    In circumstances where BTEA participants have to, as an integral or compulsory part of their course of study, undertake a period of work placement/experience or a thesis, the allowance will continue in payment for this period. The participant must supply written evidence from the Registrars' Office/Admissions Office or Student Records Office of the school/college/institution confirming this and the start and completion date

    However I wouldn't take it as a given that you would continue to receive the allowance if your work placement is paid. Check with BTEA office in Carrick on Shannon:
    Tel:(071) 967 2616

    Hi,

    Just wondering did you get the BTEA while you got paid for internship?
