    The programmes are ok but it depends what you want out of it, they are good for getting your cv's done, interview skills, access to jobsearch facilities. But like others have said it depends what you want out of it.

    ok if you want a cv if you want a job then wasting your time. They will give you a computer papers tell you to look for a job. Get you a qualification if you have no GCSEs but no job. It is something to do free meal travel.
  • I think they're good if you haven't searched for a job in a while or are getting constant rejections - some are quite basic however it might be useful and if you have questions to ask, they're a good place to pin someone down and get an answer.
