Summary:
The one exception to this last rule is where a claimant has established a pattern of working part-time while attending courses of study full-time and then loses that part-time employment. In that case, one is to be given a reasonable period of time to find similar employment.

Summary:
Exceptions to this rule are extremely rare. Claimants who have simply held part-time jobs while attending high school in earlier years would not fall into this category. Rather one must show that he has been working part-time on a continuous basis over a sufficiently long period.

Summary:
I am not ignoring the fact that claimant did work for the first 3 weeks of his course, but 3 weeks hardly constitutes a sufficient period of time to establish a pattern of part-time employment. The other employment occurred at least a year or more priorto the course.
