The first thing is to confirm that the course is defined as part time, it's not the number of hours that is important but how it is labelled, if it is shown as full time then you cannot do it and receive ESA(IR).
If it is part time then it should not effect your ESA(IR), however, you will need to fit your studies around any Work Related Activity that you are required to do if you are in the WRAG, it is unlikely that JC+ will make any allowances for this in your action plan.
You also need to consider whether your doing this course calls into question any limitations that you have stated on your ESA50, for example; going to the college (Mobility, Going Out), attending lectures (Sitting and Standing), being with other people (Coping with Social Situations) and there are others.

I believe you can study full time and receive IR ESA if you also recieve DLA. You would also then not have to undertake WRA.
