BBC Radio 4 - Face the Facts, An Unqualified Failure

John investigates allegations of malpractice at one of the UK's leading training providers

John investigates allegations of malpractice at one of the UK's leading training providers.

John Waite investigates a company which claimed to be the UK's leading training provider and held tax-payer funded contracts worth millions of pounds for courses designed to get people back to work. But he discovers how some of its learners were given certificates for courses they never completed and others have had qualifications revoked for sub-standard work. Hundreds - possibly thousands - of other learners, many paying their own way in search new careers, have been left without the courses they paid for. Industry insiders claim it exposes a loophole in the way the system is regulated.

Producer: Joe Kent
Editor: Andrew Smith.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
