| You have all my sympathy. I particularly know that sinking feeling when the employer starts talking about group exercises and role play. We cannot do those, but we can be very good, even exceptional, at our jobs. You seem to have more than enough qualifications for many jobs. Have you mined your co... |

| What was your previous area and why are you leaving? You could give being a computer tech a go, you just need A+, N+ and the MCDST. http://www.microsoft-certification.co.uk/mcdst_training.html Check out more over at Cert forums, they have a lot of information. I can't afford those and don't have an... |

| I don't really know what's available as the laws regarding this seem to keep changing all the time. However I do know that if you stay unemployed or on disability for a period of time (it used to be 6 months) the government will put their all into helping you back into work including help with trai... |

| Where and how do I get new qualifications and training paid for? I cannot afford anything myself or mathematically speaking afford anything in the longer term. I have 4 A-levels (AAAB) and a degree (2:1) but they are useless. I need to go in a different area, different subjects, different range of s... |

| I do not understand maths so cannot teach myself maths. I am at primary school ability with maths. I cannot get a job, I have no work history or references. I cannot afford to eat, I cannot afford to pay thousands of pounds for a school level qualification by myself. |

| For many jobs even very basic jobs you need a qualification called a 'GCSE' in Maths, at grades C (minimum) to A* (top). I do not have one. I have 7 GCSEs in other subjects, 4 A-levels and a BSc degree. I do not have a job. I get £43 a week. I cannot save up any money. I don't have enough money to e... |

| I cannot afford to take a postgraduate course. I could not afford to make up the difference between a bursary and the cost. I stand little chance of being able to compete to get a placement as I have no work history and my BSc Hons wasn't a First. I can't aim that high. I looked at that website and ... |
