Just a quick one: To anyone who has read my previous post on Avanta, there's a section on 'The Course' they want me to take. It's basically a CV making, group work affair like every other "course" I've ever been on with the Job Centre. It's useless to me, if only for the fact I've done it so many times before.
To recap, I was invited to a meeting to explain the benefits of this course to me. It was initially implied that the course was mandatory but, during the meeting, the adviser was really just trying to get me to say I *wanted* to go on the course. His closing line was "shall I put you down as a 'reluctant yes'?"
When the meeting took place, I was told "Nothing is final - go away and think about it. We'll send you a letter with the information and you can decide what you want to do".
This took place on Monday 6th February. Today (15/02/12) I received this:
I think you'll agree it's quite different to what I was told. So now I'm being told it's all sorted and I have to turn up?
Then again, it does say it may be a condition of my benefit.
They're not very consistent, are they?
