What does it cost?

Nothing.

This is an earn-as-you-learn programme – and not on derisory terms, MCFT

is signed up to the Foundation Living Wage – with reasonable personal use

of the company van included (small tax charge).

This absolutely provides a great alternative to mainstream further

education, with the added benefit of not holding the debt that often

comes associated with university.

It’s understandably an investment for us and we love watching people

develop their careers, but there will be an agreement to sign to ensure

that the investment costs are realised by MCFT
