In terms of value for money, I understand from talking to people who have experience with this that the person sits in front of a computer, and they are supervised or there is somebody in the room, and they must go throughjobs.ie. It is nothing more than that. Is the Department looking at this from the point of view of how it is interacting with the individual or is it just looking at the outcomes in terms of progression? Does that other element not matter?
