Made redundant 9 months ago, husband on a 3 day week. Jobseekers due to run out soon and wont be able to pay our mortgage.
I was told that I should consider doing a fulltime FAS course, that if for example I did a 12 week fulltime FAS course my jobseekers allowance would get extended by 12 weeks also (whilst still being paid for duration of the course).
However we cannot afford a childminder so fulltime not an option. Have seen an online FAS course that I would consider doing. It is a 10 week course. Does anyone know if I did this course would i also be entiltled to have my jobseekers extended by 10 weeks and still receive allowance whilst doing the course. What about a part time course, would this help extend my jobseekers allowance till my situation improves and i can acquire some new skills.
Much appreciated.
