Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  courses  factors to consider 

Summary:

The course was job-related. This finding was clearly viewed as material for the Board to allow the case. The fact that the course was job-related is not a relevant factor.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  courses  substantial fees paid 

Summary:

The Board placed undue reliance on claimant's friend when it concluded that claimant was willing to abandon the course. It cost $3,500 for each of 3 sessions; in the absence of evidence about a refund policy, it was perverse for the Board to accept this based only on the credibility of claimant's friend.
