Whether the claimant was apt for placement despite ongoing training and part-time employment.

He did not make it sufficiently credible that he would stop the course if a job or labour-market measure arose; his employer financed the training and expected a return on investment; the course schedule and evolving part-time work left only restricted, fluctuating availability.
