If you are doing a course that involves work-based learning for adults you may be able to claim the childcare costs from the training provider. Contact your local college to see if any support is available.
If you are claiming Jobseeker's Allowance, you are eligible for childcare support, but the costs must be paid directly by the training provider so they do not impact on your entitlement to benefits.
For further information and a booklet that tells you about the different funding available, contact your local Learning and Skills Council. For contact details of your local office contact them on 0870 900 6800, or visit www.lsc.gov.uk.
You could also contact Learn Direct on 0800 100 900 for information, or visit www.learndirect.co.uk.
