    193 per week for jobseekers aged under 26. Also in September 2017, a new 500 annual Cost of Education Allowance will be made
    available to BTEA participants with children.

    vary depending on the type of course e.g. the fee for the first year of a hairdressing course is €1211 (this includes the €200 participant contribution charge).
    Participants have to pay these fees regardless of whether they are or not in receipt of a Social Welfare payment.
