Re: another dodgy training course anecdote
Aug 21, 2008, 15:10
Yes, I remember the 2 year YTS/YOP schemes too.
A friend did learn the skill of curtain making, which wasn't too bad I suppose, coz she managed to do some extra cirricular sewing to supplement her own measly £35 a week training allowance.

Shop shut down before she could get her certificate proper but that's by the by, at least it was a trade of sorts.

However some of these schemes included 'checkout operator'.

Now I've done that F.T in the past, and it takes at the most 'a day' (took me ten mins) to learn how to operate these damn things with confidence.

Who's gaining out of that one?
