Hi All,

Can I check if anyone knows if it is Ok to attend voluntary training courses on job skills, baisc It skills and employability skills when getting UC? I think it is Ok to attend training if you have LCW, as long as does not clash with any job preparation - however is it still ok if you have full job seeking requirements and do not have LCW?
Also if you have LCW can you still do supported permitted plaqcement/ permitted work as long as you do not earn over 16hrs at NMW? - this is my understanding but I could be wrong?

I am hoopeing that the employment advisor shoudl view the training/permitted work as helping towards future employment and thus helping you fulfill your work requirements?

I was just wandering if anyone had any ideas or if anyone knows were i could find these answers?
