Hey just wondering could anyone help me.today I was accepted into a course in killester college and I'm delighted with it.the only issue is I am unemployed I was sent by my case worker.the college said there is a 200 registration fee and it can be payed in installments.so I asked my case officer and she said we don't pay registration fees.OK so that's fine I can sort that out myself but now I'm wondering what happens now am I entitled to any help for books etc?or do I have to pay this myself.I am renting and after rent I have about 70 quid a week for myself I'm not receiving rent allowance just jobseekers.just a bit confused now and the social aren't very helpful.I'm 28 so I'm a mature student.any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ask in the college there may be a fund to help people with books or stationary but tbh once you have internet and access to a computer you should be fine. Most courses work off handouts and note taking from slides on a projector. Best of luck with the course.
