I am wondering about getting BTEA as I have been accepted on a VTOS course but they only have BTEA places left.
I graduated from college in 1995, worked til 2001 and then again for 2 years 2002/2004 but have been out of the workforce since then (initially unemployed, then OPFA, then at home now OPFA again). According to the welfare website:
BTEA will not be approved in respect of a person who holds a qualification equivalent or higher than the qualification for which the BTEA application has been received. However, consideration will be given in certain circumstances i.e. length of time since obtaining the first qualification, efforts to get employment with qualification already held and periods of unemployment since obtaining first qualification.The main consideration in such cases is that the proposed further qualification will substantially enhance the person's employment prospect
Would I be such as case? If I stay on OPFA and do the course I will lose my mortgage interest relief, so can only do it if I can move to the BTEA
Thanks
