Does anyone know much about this on here?
My work are trying there best to make me want to leave, they have thrown the book at me for time off, and now they know im training to be a driving instructor they are blocking me at every step. They wouldnt give me set shifts to allow me to take people out for lessons after work time, and everytime i need time off to do my course they dont give me the time even though i have been totally honest with them, they tell me there is no available time, but the thing that pisses me off is the number of days on the Holiday board that have over booked time is crazy and they never give me this. plus there is a lot of other sh*t going on which makes me think they are trying there best to make me want to quit
Any opinions/help will be appreciated cheers

Sounds to me like you've decided to ignore the contract between you and your employer? They are unlikely to keep letting you have time off to pursue, what is at this stage, a hobby, at the expense of the business' best interests. They don't owe you a living.
Having said that, given how honest you've been with them, it'd be nice to get some recognition of that and some support in your new venture.
Starting any sort of tribunal is always hard, they are difficult to undertake, and you may not win - how long until you can start a business training scuba divers? Is it too long for you to try and stick at your current job, just til then?
Also, don't forget that one day, you may need to take another job in a company, and they'll want to take references.....
Either way, good luck.

Quite frankly you are wrong.
You work for an employer and that is your first concern. Your second job, whether you tell them or not, is not important to them and they need not consider it when planning. You have big ones. Then the fact that you complain about it shows that your second job is more important and you feel that your first job is interfering with your second job.
They are right...you are no longer loyal to the company and they deserve to have someone there to do the job they ask and in a first rate way.
They are the victim, not you.

go to the doctors and tell him your stressed and feel a bit depressed, due to pressure at work take a few weeks off, your employer cant do much when your on the sick, go see a solicitor get some legal advice, take them to court for constructive dismissal. sometims honesty is not the best policy?

Constructive Dismissal - Giving you no option but to resign.
Start to record everything that is going on.
Ensure you are fulfilling your part of the contract as an employee. You need to be whiter than white (as we say).

Contructive Dismissal is tough to prove. You have to keep a diary and then convince a tribunal you weren't keeping it beacuse you intended to quit and claim. See what I mean? But if you really believe that's what they're up to, go for it!

constructive dismissle is very difficult to prove.
i'd start documenting all your requests and denials from now on, keep a diary.
Keep it factual and emotion free.
They do not have to adjust your work pattern just to accomodate your outside interests. Unless you have disablility or health reasons.
