Jobseekers Holiday & Training

I have some useful training arranged, problem is the Jobcentre enjoy blocking my attempts to do some useful training to get into work.

Could I apply for holiday so I dont have to do job searches because the training will mean i wont have time to get to a library and do them (no internet at home)

    you dont have to use the internet to job search - why not send out some speculative CVs look in the local paper when you are on lunch at your training go into local businesses and give them a CV

    What is the "useful training" and how will it help with getting a job?

    That is the question JCP will be asking, if they feel it will help with a job then they will normally allow you to attend.
