Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant remained suitable for placement at 100% despite attending a long, self-funded training course.
Solution extraite
He was not fully suitable for placement; the authorities could limit suitability to the extent compatible with the course schedule and conclude that he was not prepared to interrupt the training at any time for a full-time job.
Motifs extraits
Suitability for placement cannot be fractioned into intermediate states; when an insured person follows a course on their own initiative and at their own expense, they must be ready and able to interrupt it for employment. The canton court reasonably relied on the course's duration, workload, non-refundable fees, and the claimant's ambiguous statements to find he would not necessarily abandon the training for a full-time job.
