Just to add to this...
It does seem very much like they are really taking advantage of peoples desperation especially during the pandemic of wanting to get that first job.
They are targeting naive individuals who finished training in the last 12/18 months who desperately want that job.
It doesn’t help that certain APS providers also peddle this rubbish to their students in order to get their recruitment numbers up so they can sell a load of half truths to the next lot of recruits.
When it was €5000 or even €10,000 you would argue that the risk was equal to both parties which is how it should be.
Now at €30,000 the risk is wholly on the cadet which IMO doesn’t differentiate it from an MPL. The only time I would say it’s almost acceptable to part with that level of money is if there was a solid job offer at the end and monetary protection in place should there not be.
