Hello chaps,
just a question regarding this...I have paid two bonds so far in my career .Recently joined a company (well two years ago act).The bond for this company 25000 pounds over five years reducing annually.I signed in good faith believing it was reasonable.
The training consisted of me being sent overseas with a laptop to self study with no pay apart from 2 pounds an hour,then exam,then 9 sessions in fixed sim, then 8 sessions in moving sim with test on 9th session,one hour of circuits in a/c then line training(took about five weeks to line training).
I have since discovered the true cost of my training from the horses mouth so to speak.About 16000 pounds.
IMHO they lied to me about the cost first of all and they also paid me below minimum wage during my training.Don't like people who lie. I may have a new job and don't feel too keen to pay them.
Any opinions would be welcome
