    Hi there

    Got offered internship but not am thinking of not taking it.
    I have said that I will take it but have not given them my pps number yet or dob for the paperwork.
    I have done 2 internships so this my last chance to do one and I know I can only do 3.
    So if I refuse this one can I still apply for another one ?
    I presume that since I haven't given my pps number they can't process it ?

    Advice welcome

    As you have not started the internship or notified the DSP that you would be starting one, you can turn this one down and you will still be eligible to do a 3rd.

    What are you going to do when you are finished this internship, as in your third one. An internship is there to allow you to enter a paid role, where some experience is required. How long were your previous interships, and were you offered paid work after either. It might be time to rethink your strategy if you still have not been successful in obtaining a permanent role.

    I think I may like to do a course in healthcare assistant
    First one was 9 months no job offered second one 2. Months I left as the working environment was not good no proper heat I had to wear jumpers and coats to stay warm and I had no computer the whole time I was there I was not getting good experience I think to be honest the work may have been beyond me.
    Not easy to get a job so using internships to gain experience.
