    You should be eligible for back to education allowance, to apply you just need a letter from the college confirming that you've got a place on the course and fill out an application form at your local social welfare office. You'll need to get another letter once you actually start the course confirming that you've enrolled. As far as I know Susi won't cover any fees for PLC courses. Best of luck :)

    You should be - I agree that I dont think SUSI pay the fees for PLC courses only 3rd level student contribution.
