My son starts on a scheme next Monday.

He was interviewed by one provider who then passed him to another. Now he'll have to attend "about 10 hours a week, at least a couple of times a week" until he finishes the course in his own time.

He reckoned he'd do about 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, but the provider told him he wouldn't as they have "limited resources" for him to attend that long or that often.

"Spread the course over several months," he was told, "then you won't have any hassle having to go back to the DWP".
