Good evening I have something that doesn't seat well with me ok

Good evening I have something that doesn't seat well with me ok. Last month I joined a learnership of UIF project (Nova college) and they did not pay us any money to start the classes, so I used my own last money to attend the classes until the end of last month which is August. The Learnership started from the 4th of August and they said it a six months learnership which will be one month in class and then 5 months at the workplace. Their pay day was supposed to be on the 30th of August but as I'm writing this today I have not gotten any payment. The most thing that hurts me is they sent a message on the Learnership group stating that they explained that the stipend will take time to be released and we should continue attending the classes or workplace. Can Hellopeter help me verify if this learnership is legit or a ****.
