It's likely that if you or your employer has received any form of funding towards your studies that that has come from business link, so they are probably checking that their money's being used for what it's supposed to be and/or that you're on track to achieve your qualification. I worked for business link years ago preparing funding claims and sometimes the forms could be pretty intensive asking for evidence that the money has been used correctly. For example, there may have been a pot of money avaliable from europe - up to £100 per person to train them to level X in IT. If we claimed £2k from them we would need proof that 20 people were now trained to that level. Phone calls sound like a good way of making sure everything's on track to achieve their targets.0

Hi guys
Nice of you being funded from your work. I work so hard to get a job so that I can save every penny, I paid for my college but I don't really have a luck nearly a year now since I start appying for any basic accounting jobs. No luck at all
It's very tough out there I am taking my exam in a week and hoping that I can start surfing to look for a job again?0
