Will soon be out of a job, late last year I was enrolled on a course by my line manager an accountancy course. Although I had reservations about this i tried it to see how I got on but found it difficult. I did mention this to the my manager but i think at the time I felt pressurised into doing the course. I had to sign a contract and it states if you leave and do not complete the course you have to pay £1800. If you are made redundant and only attend 2 sessions i do not think its fair to pay the full amount.

Look forward to hearing some feedback.

Anything signed under duress is of questionable legality and if this is a redundancy matter then I don't see how you could be held liable, it's out of your hands.

Usually if you are made redundant you shouldn't have to pay, as it's not your fault you left employment.

I wouldn't pay it. But that's just me.

however in the mean time go to the sessions if they are still on - even if you sit there not getting it - that way you haven't dropped out before getting made redundant...

I was in a similar boat, and was told that as I wasn't leaving through choice I didn't have to pay them back. But yes to keeping going on the course: if nothing else you can add it to your CV if you go!
