View answerI understand from FÁS that the FÁS Technical Employment Support Grant (TESG) is the relevant support in the case in question. I am informed that under the FÁS TESG guidelines, the TESG allows for a maximum of €500 towards the cost of the programme or 100% of the cost of the programme, whichever is the lesser amount, per applicant every 12 months. This payment is subject to registration and career guidance interview with a FÁS Employment Services Officer.
