My advisor at the jobcentre recomended the learndirect courses to refresh my computer skills. Went to our local college and they are only free if you are on a means tested benefit. My incapcity benefit means that I do not qualify. Does anybody know of any free courses that I could do, I'm in Leicestershire

http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/about/p6_1.shtmlI no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0
