Under my Department's student grant scheme, eligible candidates may receive funding provided they are attending an approved course at an approved institution.

An approved course is defined as a full-time undergraduate course of at least two years duration, or a full-time postgraduate course of not less than one year duration pursued in an approved institution.

I understand the course referred to by the Deputy does not meet the prescribed requirements of an approved course as it is provided on a part-time over one year.
