Sorry, if my first post was a bit abrupt. Let's clarify the situation. When the new 10k deal was signed, only half of the new trainees on 207 ( the first course to get it) were told about it. When they all applied and had their interviews, it was still the old deal and nothing was mentionned about the 10k. They were only told a week or so before joining leaving them with no choice. The excuse from the union rep at the college was that there was nothing on paper and that what was on the internet was just only valid then! So apologies if some of us feell like having been stuffed by the company.
