yeah that must be what it is, i can understand in a way, if they gave training out to people straight away, everyone would become unemployed to get free training! but after 3 months, surely that is long enough, but how can you prove to these people that i want to work and don't want to spend any longer claiming JSA than i have too!

thanks for your help guys, i had read somewhere about new deal not being available to me till i had been signing on for 18 months as i am over 25. Having never been unemployed before this is all new to me. I will get as much info as possible to take in to the interview with me to try and persude them its worth me having the corgi registration, and keep plugging away at getting a job till then!

Hi all, I have recieved a letter from the job centre asking me to attend the 13 week interview to discuss what happens next, 2 weeks ago i asked the job centre worker what help i can get with training, he told me, nothing till the 13 week interview! however, after reading a few posts on this site, it doesn't seem like i will get any help till i have been siging on for 6 months! I was hoping for some training help, for example, help with getting corgi registered. can anyone help me to understand what i will get offered on this interview.
