From personal experience I can tell you that a lot of these "training agencies" are nothing of the sort. They get large sums of cash to set up and operate them, but there appears to be no definition of what they should do with the "trainees" sent to them from the DWP.

Lots of paperwork by permanent staff who are only interested in their own existence, no incentives to do anything at all, and "trainees" who are often quite happy to be told to "go home and we'll see you in a few weeks' time".

And many of them get charity status so tax is avoidable!
