Refresher
A refresher is when a former student of Almond Careers returns to complete their training all over again.
A refresher is recommended when a period of six months and above has elapsed since the student completed their training and work experience with Almond Careers.
A refresher could be required but not limited to the following reasons:
– Since they completed their training they have been unable to secure a role within the project field and would like to refresh their knowledge and take up a new project to extend their work experience.
– They were unable to complete the training tenure due to personal reasons.
– They simply want to be a part of a new project to build on their knowledge and boost their confidence.
A student returning on a refresher will be entitled to 50% off the going price, whether it is on a discount or not.
Please see our payment policy for the terms and conditions of payment.
A student returning on a refresher requesting to take up a different course (for instance, going from PM to BA) from what they originally registered for, will be allowed to change course. However there will be an extra charge of £100 incurred for amending a CV to reflect the new course and role they are taking up in their work experience program with Almond Careers.
Reference
As is customary, Almond Careers will provide a CV reference for students returning on a refresher from the moment they register for their refresher course until they secure a project related role.
Also, students must also note that the representation of the work experience on their CV and in conversations with recruiters should be presented as that of a freelance contract and not as a permanent Job.
UK / NIGERIAN References
All students registered under “Nigeria” (who paid the Nigeria fee) will receive a Nigerian reference while all students registered under “UK” (Work experience) will receive a UK reference.
Employment Status Requests
The project work embarked on during the work experience is undertaken completely on a voluntary basis, and while this will not be mentioned in your reference, it is important that all students understand that we do not provide employment status information for students. All requests for employment letters or proof of paid employment will be denied.
WORK Reference Request
When a student of Almond Careers secures a project related role and a reference is requested, all reference requests must be formally submitted via email ONLY to referencing@almondcareers.com.
If a student makes contact via telephone requesting a reference, they will be advised to put their request in writing via email.
All references will be processed by the Almond HR Team and will be provided relating to the project completed with us to both recruiters and employers on behalf of the student.
