Retraining options should have been part of your redundancy package, did you ask?
How long ago were you made redundant? is it too late too check, if not do it, you may have been short changed through ignorance of your work conditions of employment. John.

I am not ignorant by any means, when a company closes down and in your contract it states in the redundancy clause there is no redundancy payable and termination is one weeks notice. It doesnt leave you with many options, they gave me my letter and told me to piss off. they didnt pay me my holiday pay but I sorted that out today and a refrence.

I hope you didn't take the ignorant comment as personal, I was just drawing your attention to a possibility.

It sounds like you signed out of redundancy options at the time you signed on, didn't think they could do that. Cheers John.

Nah I didnt take offence dude, I asked them to chage it and the 1 week notice factor, but they wouldnt have a bar of it and since the company has been aroudn for a while and im alwase real busy I though what the hey. Turns out I was wrong, the only bad thing about losing my job is I only walked 257steps to work.

head over to www.wintecactive.co.nz , i got mine thru school so no idea how much ot costs but its bloody easy and quite good. (and internationally recognized )

I am just here now doing the wintecactive course. Its faily easy apparently your ment to spend 40hours and each papper but I just spent one hour on one and passed and I need to do 10 pappers to get a certificate.

Thanks again for everyones advice.

yea we were ment to take all year to finish it (and extra external tests on the same stuff) in 6th form, needless to say I did it in less than half a year as well as all my other worht in 5th form (then got to laugh at all the others during 6th form)

Did you look at many others? campare them at all? or just choose the wintec one?

[texmo]

Looked at a few but wintec offered the best thigns for my needs I live like 2 mins from queen st and thats where I am doing the course. I only need to do 10 pappers but I think I might do atleast half of them.
Its free neca approved and you get some certificate at teh end of it I guess it cant be bad.
