JSA 6 Month "Intensive Employability Skills" College Course

I recently got told I needed to attend this in order to be entitled for JSA and have to attend 4 days a week, Had anyone heard of it or know any more about it? It's going to cost me £18 a week just to get there :(

    I'm 19 and I've only been on JSA for around 5 months. I also don't have to sign on at the JS anymore as the JSA money will be paid automatically as I'll be on this course.

    A friend of mine had something similar. He had to go in 4/5days a week for around 6hrs and just applied for jobs and have employability sessions. However he did get his travel paid so you should ask about that.

    He was a university graduate and didnt think the course was useful, however he managed to get a voluntary role through it and the course ended.
