not that i know of! unless it's volunteer work or a very clearly set out demonstration of skills (ie.. make 5 coffees to show us how you do it not do a 3 hour service shift to show us how you do it). weird for a job agency to say that
Yeah like I was tasked to do things but I was learning over the course of a week or so. I might talk to the job provider person about tomorrow because I have an appointment with her.
that sounds like.. what normally happens when you start a new paid job. definitely worth a raised eyebrow at the least!
