This only realy applies to self employed instructors intending to go onto full employment later.
I was made redundant when SFT whent into admin, so off I whent to the job centre to sign on only to be told over a month later that I can not get job seekers alowance.
This is because I have been employed by SFT for less than 2 years and before that, I was self employed (as a ppl instructor). All this despite paying class 1 and class 4 (national insurance)taxes, this just goes towards my pension, which of course will be abolished by the time I retire.
Not sure what the moral of this is but be careful out there. :confused:
