Move forward course

Hi everyone. I was put on the Move Forward course after failing the assessment for ESA so now claim Jobseekers Allowance. The course was ok but i had a clash of personality with the Tutor and today I left under a cloud. He made me feel very upset and I really could no longer tolerate his attitude towards me. Therefore I left as i could feel pent up anger and rage towards him and I did swear as I left which I realise now I should have kept control and used an excuse to leave. I am now in a very vulnerable position because I am scared that maybe the Job Centre could sanction my claim. I live alone and have no partner or relatives for support. Any advice would be gratefully received. I have acted hastily but cannot tolerate another two weeks in this persons presence. I have applied for several jobs but as yet no joy.

    I haven't heard of this course but I would imagine if you were mandatorily referred then yes you will be sanctioned, possibly indefinitely until you attend the whole course.

    I appreciate you feel vulnerable but we all come across people we clash with in the world of work, you have to deal with it, walking out is not an option when people need to keep their jobs.

    Perhaps you might reconsider your decision, grit your teeth and see it through.
