Key legal question
Whether the claimant remained fit for placement while attending the course from 2010-01-11 to 2010-02-26.
Extracted holding
He was not fit for placement because the record did not show an objective willingness to interrupt the course and accept work at any time.
Extracted reasoning
For a self-chosen course outside Art. 59 ff. LACI, the insured must be willing and able to stop the course immediately if employment arises and must continue satisfactory job-search efforts. The cantonal court could infer from the financial and personal commitment, the continuation of the course despite warnings, and the lack of objective evidence to the contrary that this condition was not met.
