    Thanks - in a 243 page document, any chance of pointing to where the info is?

    Try searching the document for 'permitted period'. After all you're the one who's declaring what is and isn't relevant.

    If you already knew where it was, thought you may state page number but hey.... thanks.
  • i would be careful about starting the job and doing it badly, in case of references.

    I would take it up and hope it would help you gain a full time job/wage elsewhere or even within the company.

    I would see it initially as a WAY IN.

    I may have missed this but has the prospective employer actually confirmed that they will be paying the £2.68 apprentice rate or has this just been assumed?

    We're a small employer and have a few apprentices in different areas but we don't use the apprentice rate for any of them - we use NMW for their age.

  • But it is a moot point as they will not be an apprentice unless the employer pays all training cost which is very highly unlikely.

    So far - just found out my daughter turned up for her 10:30 appointment/interview and was told she is "not on the list" but asked to wait while the college (interview was at some college) sorts this out.

    She has a sign on appointment at 11:20. quite far from where her "interview" was scheduled for 10:30.

    Gave her money for a cab to get from one to the ther as impossible on public transport.

    Waiting to see/find out what hapened.

    That is just stupid organising. What happens if the interview at the college takes 1hr? What happens if there's traffic?
