I thought you were a Hitachi student, Mannix! Wasn't it just the Barclays students who were being passed to Computeach?

Yes, looks as though we cannot continue with Advent as "Hitachi" students, regardless of what happens to what's left of Advent henceforth.

Attention all Hitachi/Advent Students **Please bear in mind all of you that Hitachi are probably watching this very forum and topic as well as others, so watch what you divulge.** We have consulted a solicitor who has said he would be happy for us to share his advice with others. He would also be delighted to act for a number of claimants as he has had experience and success in this field. If you want to know more, send me a Personal Message. I am not prepared to divulge details publicly, for various reasons, as I'm sure you can understand. Click my username immediately to the left of this post, and then open my contact details tab.

After discussing this with the family last night, we are of the view that Hitachi may have been looking at their records of "their" Advent students, and cherrypicking a few to see what the reaction would be to a partial settlement. We also think that Hitachi, being a very large company, and particularly as the finance division with which we're dealing here is a very small proportion of the business, are sure to have insurance against such eventualities, and, if they had used actuaries / risk assessors, would have been perfectly aware of what they were letting themselves in for when reaching this arrangement with Advent. Therefore, we should be holding out for full refunds. The time taken to progress on the course is irrelevant; Advent even told me, by E-mail, last autumn, that I could take an indefinite period of time to work on the course, and that they would continue to support me throughout, on the condition that I stayed in regular contact with them. Besides, I was making progress, having taken two exams towards the end of last year, and had been hoping to take a third around this Easter.

Don't do that; you're owed more money than that, IMHO.

Getting reports that a buyer(s) has (have) been found for Advent and its sister company. Saviour likely for titsup training firm ? Channel Register BBC News - Terms agreed over Hagley training firms

Yes, along with everyone else, it would seem, looking at the Barclays topic relating to Advent's difficulties. I wonder who would be interested in buying Advent's business!

You would appear to be referring to these people, who I've found after some Googling. We can help you find your ideal career | Ideas for Careers I wonder if this will result in some kind of reincarnation of Advent. I'd be quite happy to continue my training with a relaunched Advent as I was impressed by the way they were conducting their training courses, and the last two text books they sent me were quite good. However, if this proves not to be possible, then I will pursue Hitachi Capital for a refund, as I understand to be my right under the Consumer Credit Act.
