Unemployed - not currently working, receiving a qualifying welfare payment from the Department of Social Protection (unless you are formerly self-employed) and actively seeking employment.
Working Family Payment / Community Employment Scheme - If you are in-receipt of the Working Family Payment or on a Community Employment Scheme, your fees will be covered in full, regardless of the course NFQ Level, but you should discuss your intention to take a Springboard+ course with your DSP Employment Personal Adviser before applying.
