During the week, they repaid his travel costs, and gave everyone who was on the course £2 a day for their dinner. They were there for 6 hours a day. A total of 30 hours, to do something that he finished in an hour. He said he spent the rest of the time using the internet at the facility.

Another waste of money if you ask me :/
I was once out on a similar course like that. C.V writing, and Job search 5 days a week for 6 hrs. I had to do that for 3 months.
