Training but not getting paid for it.

I'm on ESA and have applied as a healthcare assistant (bank staff only) at my local hospital. If I'm lucky enough to get an interview and then accepted there is a 2 week training course which is not paid. Will it be ok to stay on ESA during the training?

I don't know, TBH
Is an employer allowed to make people attend a training course for 2 weeks solid without paying them?! That sounds a fairly dismal way of doing things - call it training to sidestep payment. Is it on the job training or class based, btw?0 -
It's more about the hours regarding permitted work I think as well as the pay.
Why not ask the JCP?0 -
If it is with the NHS then that is not how it works. YOU WILL be paid for it. You need to check with HR.0

It is with the NHS I've checked the job advertisement and it says Course attendance is unpaid.0
