    You have to wait until the official end of your course unfortunately, so if that's not until the beginning of July, that's when you can claim from.

    Pretty sure its when your course officially finishes, as before then you are still considered in education. Good luck with the job hunt.

    Its not until the date the course officially finishes, sometime in July.

    Also the Job Centre aren't known for beingvery quick giving you any money after you first apply, I think it takes around two weeks from application until its approved.

    A bit rubbish I know
