College courses and money..

[Kimmer]

Try to stay with me here lol

I was thinking about starting a college course in Childcare but I don't know what that'll mean for our money situation.

When my husband was at college he was claiming JSA at the same time. They said he would still have to find a job and quit his course if one came up.

I don't want to be in that situation too.

Would I be able to do a college course and claim some other kind of money? Income support? I don't know.

I want to make some kind of career but at the moment it seems I'm stuck!
Heeelp!

Sorry hun, didn't want to read and run, but I don't really have that much advice to be honest...One of my friends was in a similar position this year, and I know that the college have sorted her out with a bit of money for various things..

The college should have a Finance person who will advise you..My advice would be to go into the college and ask him/her what they can do xx

Thank you I'll be going up there tomorrow to find out.
There must be a way!

They have people you can talk to at the job centre about money and returning to work/education. You will have to ring them and make an appointment though
