Lots of organisations advertise training courses in
newspapers. If you’re being asked to pay for training you need to
check a few things first to make sure you’re not wasting your time
and your money!
- Could you do the
course for free (through Government funding) at college or through
an apprenticeship?
- Is the course up to
date and accepted by the industry?
- Will it lead to a
job or do you need work experience as well?
