Thanks for that Micawber. I now understand the situation a whole lot more! One thing I did read on the UKBA site was...
Just learned, after successfully passing test for new work, that the company has not offered any new work for about 4 months now! Why was I not told that before paying for and doing the training? Do not yet know when they will be offering more work.
I didn't realize that there was a charge attached................. Are you sure it is a kosher outfit...???
Yes, they are kosher, quite big in USA but only have two clients in the UK so far. The training was £15 and I had to get a criminal background check done for £25. Once assigned to a client, there is another training course, lasting six weeks and costing £50.
