We've had a lot of blokes asking to work for us that have done their pt2 which was funded but the not the £700 1 day assessment, which makes the funding pointless if they can't afford to complete the assessment.
I think that happened when they first bought out the idea swifty. Its always been tough for the self-employed guys and those working for companies that dont provide the complete package.
The assessment funding covers the first assessment / skills test. If the candidate fails that skills test then it is up to the candidate to pay for the 2nd skills test, which in all honesty is only fair.
