    Found this:

    Termination

    10.1 - The contract will terminate immediiatley with notice from us to you

    10.1.1 - In the event that we make any voluntary arrangement with our creditors or become subject to an administration order or go into liquidation (except for the puroses of amalgamation or reconstruction and in such manner that the company resulting from there from effectively agrees to be bound by or assume the obligation imposed on that other party under the agreement)

    This information was on out pink enrolment thing. Don't know if it means much?
  • I have just (9am) spoken to someone at Barclays Partner Finance and been told that a letter has gone out saying that alternative training will be provided. I was worried because I paid off my loan a couple of days ago and was unsure if that still applied to me, but it seems all is OK. I will be going to the Citizens Advice Bureau anyway to be doubly sure! I will make another post if I hear anything new.

    Madrox - must say put so nicely.

    Seriously though, we all know how you feel. We have all been shafted.

    Check your junk for the email. Funnily enough that where ours was!

    Although harshly put litesp33d does have some points. This company, judging by other threads on the subject about the history of the directors, preyed on the dreams and aspirations of people with the promise of gold and riches. Many of those who took up the training were unsuitable but that was of no interest to Advent as they get the money anyway. There are many training companies like this out there. To them it is a get rich quick scam, take the money then collapse with very few assets. Unfortunately for many this is going to turn into another Farepak. Doubtless the DTI will look into it and as usual just say it was unfortunate. :mad:

    If what you say is correct shame :(... but i must add that employers in the IT and engineering industries value degrees from brick and mortar establishments in greater stead.

    Is it not possible to study part time at university on a Computer Science or engineering course?

    Can get student loans at uni.... just a thought... and you know the 'degree' you will have will be worth the paper its wrote on.
