Training for unemployed.

Xenophile

Can anyone say if unemployed people qualify for free training under Government sposored schemes in the following areas.

1) Manual Handling.
2) First Aid.
3) Forklift Training.

I have particularily in mind work being carried on in warehouses. Having said that any enlightened employer in the retail sector would be impressed to see qualifications on a C.V. that included manual hanling and First Aid.

Interested to know who are the them you are referring to and also you might enlighten us as to "let them know" what. Or could it be just an error that you forgot to complete your post

Just to add Op, If you are unemployed but not receiving any social welfare payments then you may have to pay at least part of the course yourself. As far as I know if you are receiving full then the cost of the course is paid for you by fas and an additional training allowance in some cases.

It would be worth contacting your local fas office and asking if there are any courses of that nature coming up in the next few weeks or months in your area.

Sound advice........I would say go to Fas and register for a place on the first available course, register for as many as you can...... there is a social dimension to this, meeting new people, exchanging information, networking etc..............if you can show that you are pro-active about adding to your range of skills.........then you will be seen as enterprising, a self starter...................more than just phrases you were advised to put on your C.V.
