Before anyone chimes in, I paid for both of mine.
That being said, I am in favour of it… but! Every penny should be paid back. If it’s a handout, absolutely NO!
Work the ■■■■ job and pay for it yourself, it’s what most of us have done. If you are unemployed and WANT to train, interest free loans should be available.
My brother got his cat c through our local jobcentre, and he paid 20 a month while on benefits, 50 a month when employed until it was paid back. He had to pay for the provisional, theory and the little bits himself.
Giving it away as a handout is plain wrong! And it devalues the license. As for making it a condition of your benefits and forcing people to do it… don’t get me started!
