Training allowances are available to social welfare recipients participating on most full time ETB further education and training programmes. The rate is generally the same as the rate of their social welfare payment. A training allowance is not paid on the Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) programme but prospective participants in receipt of a social welfare payment can apply to their INTREO office for the Back to Education Allowance.

Details of ETB courses are available on www.fetchcourses.ieand social welfare recipients can also discuss their options with their INTREO case officer or with the ETB Adult Education Guidance Service.
