In principle yes, however it will depend on how the course is described and in particular whether it is labelled as full time or not. You do not need to attend five days a week for one to be labelled full time.

Also, you need to consider whether your doing this course fits within the limitations that you stated on the ESA50. For example;

- if you have mobility problems how will you get there and home, how will you move between classes.
- If you have problems sitting and standing how will you manage
- if you have dexterity problems how will you manage the classwork
- if you have problems with agoraphobia how will you manage going to the college
- if you have social anxiety how will you manage mingling with other students.

I believe you can receive ESA whilst studying full time if you also get DLA or PIPs.
