Hoax of PLAB and HSMP part 2

Permit free training and HSMP

Traditionally, a person who managed to find a job, was given a permit free training visa, again for no reason, given for 6 months in the initial instance and then asked to renew after 6 months, which in total costs a person around 1000 pounds (500 pounds per application).

Since the last year, the home office has stopped issuing PFT as the DOH found that there were more overseas trainees, and the local graduates were finding it difficult to get jobs as they had to compete with local trainees. Hence they decided to stop the PFT scheme.

Now it states that anybody who wanted to train in the UK, needed to apply for the HSMP scheme. So now, everybody ends up spending another minimum 315 + 315 pounds for a HSMP status, so they could complete a training, which is not valid or accepted in most countries overseas.
