This is a joke they tell people dates and then last minute decide not to go ahead with them. This is the second time this has happened since my medical.

It's not deffo cancelled there have meeting or somtin , it's a joke really because people (myself included) have asked for time off it work and it was hardship for me with my bosses , now I know the class wasn't fully confirmed but in all fairness they need to let us all know

Im in the same boat I had a deposit paid on a holiday 150 euro it was for the same time as the dates given for September I cancelled the holiday as I can't afford to take much time off in work my bosses keep at me to confirm my dates for holidays. Hopefully it'll be within the next week we find out.

Very annoying at this stage , but let's keep positive and wait and see

Doyouevenlift9 · 12-08-2015 5:52pm

I rang HQ , I just wanted to here from themselfs they also said that more then likely the dates will be changed to late October/Early November and then another Class In New year 2016 January.
I done my Medical 4 months ago now . Let's hope that meeting is soon so we can get confirmed Dates .

Slava1976 · 13-08-2015 2:21pm

I think I'll be only one who'll be happy if dates will move to the end of October or even January because I'm working in busy hotel so from April till October we have kinda "no flight" zone for holidays.Our hotel even closing every January for renovation so I think if I'll be offered to choose-I'll take January.

My job is the same in relation to holidays but ive told them Im taking them or leaving and they said they'd accommodate me, I just hope it's this year as I don't want to waste next years holiday at the start of the year.

Lucky you !! If dates get changed il have to miss it , nov dec are a no go for holidays for me , Iv already bin told that by boss , sept/oct were the only time they would give me unpaid leave ,, wish they would just let us know for deffo coz I'm head wrecked not knowing

Doyouevenlift9 · 13-08-2015 8:31pm

Id say we would know soon . After that meeting they will just pick the dates that suit the college and then let us know asap. Infairness there has been no reserve classes in 2015 so they want to get a move on , By the sounds of they guy i was talking to the dates will be moved foward a month .

Doyouevenlift9 · 19-08-2015 2:20pm

Class are cancelled just got email there , end of November but that hasn't been confirmed yet either, but I'm sure that one will go ahead as they can't keep Cancelling them.

Slava1976 · 19-08-2015 4:26pm

Same here.My boss will be very happy.

Doyouevenlift9 · 19-08-2015 4:50pm

Tbh I am happy with the new dates , I have stuff on in September arnd the same time as the old dates, they may still have one in October yet.

I got same email ,, I'm gutted as nov don't suit me il have to see nxt year I'm raging to say the least, I was talking to boss monday and said that sept class might be cancelled and asked them how would they be fixed if it was nov/dec ,, he said they couldn't give me time of has it was our busiest time and I can't take 2 weeks unpaid in nov/dec coz my sis is getting married 12th dec and I need the money, I'm so disappointed ðŸ˜ž

Doyouevenlift9 · 19-08-2015 11:45pm

Fathead , at the end of the email its say that the dates will be changed about , so there may be a class in October yet .

Hey my email said that this training postponed and the new provisional dates are nov 24/25

Slava1976 · 20-08-2015 4:14pm

Logically thinking-99% will be 24th&25th of November...because this's already 3rd time dates moved...imagine,what every month office will send us email kinda "sorry,lad,dates has been changed...AGAIN...".something happened so they had to move dates.life is life.just wait a little bit.we're nearly there.

fathead 241188 · 12-10-2015 8:58am

Hey ,, anyone heard anymore about training ??

No only that temporary dates are the end of November but that was said in September and I wouldn't be surprised if it's put off till next year.

Cedric87 · 13-10-2015 6:12pm

I was onto HQ today and they said no dates confirmed for this year.

Doyouevenlift9 · 13-10-2015 8:58pm

I honestly cant see November class going ahead, if it was i would say they would have it confirmed by now .

Jammydodger123 · 13-10-2015 10:43pm

But aren't they up in the air about confirming dates though? Even in the email we got about possibly deferring training to November they couldn't even say for definite so it would even go ahead in November.. We could get a call next week saying it's going ahead ya never know..it seems all up in the air..

To be honest I don't think they even know what's going on, the college is that busy they can't squeeze us in. I really don't see it happening this year, new recruitment for full time starts next year so it will be the same next year as well.
