Heya,

Thanks again for the advice; i'm going to ring the man from the course first thing this morning before he puts anything into action hopefully...i'm just going to explain my concerns and say under the circumstances i wouldn't feel comfortable with this etc etc and then if necessary i will contact the employer too. I'm due to meet with my personal advisor tomorrow anyway so i will explain the situation to him then and if he says it amounts to refusing paid work then so be it! I will post back and let you know the outcome! Thanks! :-)

Really pleased you seem more positive. Often I get really concerned about someting in the future and I imagine all kinds of horror scenarios. Yet when it happens, the world doesn't stop spinning and I wonder why I was ever worried.

Update: After panicking all weekend, i just rang the bloke from the course and he was great about it all after i explained the situation...thank God! I'm seeing my advisor tomorrow and everything should be well! Thanks again for all the advice! :-)

Things are a little different to when I was an adviser in 2004 (but not radically different) and if you explained it as you have done here, it's very unlikely you'd have a problem.

Remember it's not the adviser who would decide anyway.
