Three reasons I stopped taking the courses.
1) Last two courses I signed up for were cancelled due to lack of interest / not enough people signed up. And of course, when I was told – it was to late to sign up for something else.

2) Very little change in course offerings in each area. There were a few classes I would have liked to take that was only offered in the Central and East parishes. Because I live and work in the west I could not make the start times. Would have been nice if they moved around a bit.

3) The course directories were not advertised or distributed in places that were convenient. I would occasionally come across a copy of the course book in a post office when it was too late to sign up because I oly have a reason to go there every two or three months.

Socialee Consulting posts a glowing recommendation by Dr. Melvyn Bassett, Former Managing Director of Sandy’s 360. That’s all I need to know to confirm my suspicions.

I signed up for one of the Spring Courses (Business Accounting). Although it was for a brief time, I totally enjoyed the lessons taught. I walked away with a certificate. A big shout out to my Teach Mrs. Latoya Francis!!!

Humiliation of the mass – People will not spend the time and money to improve themselves if there is no incentive to learning and self-improvement. They will simply settle for a government job at the minimum wage.

“The majority of participants that did enrol in the programme courses were non-Bermudians.”

That pretty much says it all right there. Bermudians don’t want to do what it takes to improve their skill sets to get the jobs.

This is most likely the main reason for the closure.

Why is the PLP Govt. recommending certain private businesses? This seems a bit problematic to me!!
