Anyone experience in working for this crowd?

They seemed ok until they asked for "fee" for training which has put me off somewhat.

Call me sceptical but it does not seem "right", am I wrong??

    I agree, seems strange to ask for a fee, having said that, they have a FB page where they had an offer on the training (back in 2011) and I think the cost at that time was £10.

    I would be more interested in what their payment structure was and if earnings were realistic before I would part with the fee...at todays cost I would imagine it has maybe jumped to around £15.
    No two ways about this one: Anything Free is not a Basic Right..it had to be earned...by someone, somewhere

    They said it was £19.99. I will not be parting with my money for this one I am afraid. They said they need payment so that they can verify who you are from your payment details. I did not think they could do that?

    mmm...£20 not to end up with any work....sounds like a moneymaker....wonder what their payment structure is like....it will be interesting to see if anyone else can provide feedback.

    Yea I thought it was a bit suspect alright. Maybe someone will prove me wrong. Apparently work is guaranteed after you pay and complete the training. But I will give it a miss, very clever scheme for them to make money. I am sure plenty of people would pay without a second thought.

    If it's guaranteed (and at a level to make it cost-effective), then they have so much work and need people to do it, so can 'front' the £20 for you, take it out fo your first pay-packet if they must...

    But upfront actual cash? If a company is desperate for people to work for them but won't front a score, it doesn't add up.
