No. that's the whole point of it. they get paid by the provider. like a4e/pertemps or whoever they are. it's dole money really but being paid by them now. the dole will pay the 'worker' about £1 a week just to keep their claim open.
so for the purpose of unemployment figures. these people are not registered as unemployed now.
so you can add how ever many thousands are on whatever course to make the true figures of unemployment.
a lot of people don't know this. they probably think everything's honky dory
