I verbally was offered a place on a course, relating to my work - I have worked in this field professionally since 1999, and now am starting my own company as well.
I was told that submitting the forms was a formality to apply for the course, and I did so.
Only to be refused the place on the course, since, according to the refusal letter, I had no experience in the subject. Regardless of the fact I have been working in this field since 1999. (needless to say my original application had been backed up with CV, newspaper articles, long statement, etc- basically more than was asked for).
The educational institution then tried to back out of the fact they had offered me the place, and informed me that the course I had applied for was not described more than "sketchily" on thier literature and that there had been a misunderstanding. I do however have a witness to when I was stood in that office being verbally offered the place on the course originally.
Do I have any rights?

as for a verbal agreement that you can have the CSE and the rest is a formality........... no, you dont have a leg to stand on
but if you really want things looked at, you could pursue looking at there excuse (on paper) that you didn't get the CSE because you was not qualified / had no experience..... get some back ground on the person who did get the CSE and if you were more qualified and had SHOWN more experience on paper, then go for it...........
sorry but not carrying out verbal agreements are not illegal...... just immoral
Good Luck

yes you do have rights firstly your witness. arrange a meeting to discuss exactly the course subject and produce your experience in that field, the course should have been decribed axactly as it was intended and not sketchely. not your problem, seems a get out to me. fight all the way. good luck

Speak to the citizens advice bureau to learn your rights. They may advise you to take the matter up with the education authority!

No if a employer does not like you for any reason. Just like selling or buying a house, you can't discriminate based on color, race, family status. But if they don't like you, they don't have to sell, buy, or hire.
