Regularising coaching centres, online courses for job-seekers

The jobseekers, many of whom are unemployed, have to attend coaching classes to excel in examinations for job. They prepare themselves in these institutions so that they can win the fierce competition of getting their desired job. Many of these institutions are really helpful for the job seekers. But there are some that do not provide quality lessons and the job seekers fail to secure their desired results in job exams. Sometimes, these coaching centres even fail to keep the promise they made to the job seekers. It is not unusual that when they want a refund form these institutions, they refuse to return the course fee. Most of these courses, offered by the teachers or institutions, do not have any refund policy. Therefore, job candidates face financial loss.

Some teachers and institutions even provide online courses. These virtual classes are not free, and job seekers have to pay a hefty amount of fee for participating in these classes. But many of their contents are not worthy of spending money and time on. For the lack of a guideline, many job seekers are now being cheated by these online courses. Although these courses are often operated privately, there should be rules for conducting them. We hope the authorities concerned will keep an eye on this and do the needful.
