So my winter plans fell through so now I'm on EI. This is my first time so wondering how easy or difficult it is to get approved for job training? I'm thinking of just driving a truck in the winter if I can get some funding (or atleast partial) since where I am in Prince George, looks like getting a Class 3 will run $3200 and Class 1 $7500
I went to the local WorkBC office, but they didn't give me much information other than I have to attend an orientation which is later this week. So if anyone has experience with getting funding through EI,how exactly does the process work and does it take much time?
Friend of mine did it a couple years ago, they paid for him to take some mechanic courses. He said it was annoying working with them during the process, but once he was approved it was great - he even got a weekly gas allowance to drive to school. I think they'll want to do the course application with you, so don't apply in advance.

So orientation was today, not sure why I had to wait 3 weeks to attend just to fill out an online application I could have done at home. Now another two weeks before I can talk to a job coach. Might as well pay for the training myself because at this pace looks like I'll be back to work before the funding gets approved lol
