When a lie is halfway around the world the truth begins to put on its boots

9. MONEY SAVINGS EXPERT - SkillsTrain

January 2008 - October 2008

This forum had a number of contributors to it who were making inaccurate claims and false statements about their alleged SkillsTrain contracts and studies. Each claim alleged that SkillsTrain were exploiting students, but the students refused to come forward when the company made postings offering to sort out any genuine grievances.

In view of the serious nature of the allegations and the lack of supporting evidence, the thread was closed down in October 2008.

Hi, I just received a letter from Skills Train saying my course has reached its termination date and that they expect me to pay extra on top of the £3500 already paid(being paid) to allow me to complete the course.

The first I ever hear of a time limit was in the letter they sent telling me it had expired.

So you pay several thousand pounds for something they can just stop providing - you then have to fork out more money to allow the course to continue - seems a little unfair.

These people are not nice people - they exploit the umemployed and give little or nothing in return for thousands of pounds.
