Question about OWP

[Reetypd]

Hi!
Quick question about the OWP. Once it is received, apart from the conditions that one isn’t able to work in certain fields. (Healthcare, childcare, sex work - yep that’s also noted) there is a condition “unless authorised, prohibited from attending any educational institutions, or taking any academic, professional or vocational training courses.

Now if someone would like to (as a holder or an OWP) also upgrade and get some professional training, how could they do that?

Thanks for your help!

Hi

As long as the course or program is less than 6 months, you can do it.
