Government of Montserrat Counters Fake News On Free Courses

The Government of Montserrat is striking down any false online advertisement of it offering free courses.

In a statement earlier this week, the Learning and Development Division in the Human Resources Management Unit (HRMU) said any official government related training programme would be publicized on the Government of Montserrat website and not on any external third party platform.

The statement further noted that any advertisement promoting Government of Montserrat training programmes on social media would be done through Government of Montserrat social media platforms such as the Government Information Unit and Office of the Deputy Governor.

Over the past few weeks, a social media account - Service010-has been advertising the offering free courses by the Government starting in October on its website.

This, the division says is completely fake and persons are advised not to register or sign-up for any courses on Montserrat through this platform.

Residents are encouraged to contact the Learning and Learning and Development Division on (664) 491-2365/2444 or via email at HRMU@gov.ms for any details.
