What advise you want?

Is the training guaranteed?

My last company bonded me for 2 years for a supposed training that never materialised. Not only that, in the terms of the contract, I am not supposed to work in the same industry for another two years. But I understand from friends that the very clause of restricting your employment after the end of the contract is illegal and voided the bond in the first place....

Yes, it was a cinapek/chinaman company.

But 1 year is pretty short. Make sure you're not bonded during the probation period. At least the first 3 months you should be able to quit and leave with no strings attached if you don't like it there -unless you want to stomach the remaining 9 months.
