Scholar Background Question - skill Acquisition

[Eliphas Levi]

In looking at the Scholar Background, when it states you gain the Assurance skill feat in your chosen skill, does it come in as trained?

If it does come in as trained, does it have to use one of the slots given for your class skills, or in addition to it?

Bumping this - the same applies to a number of backgrounds that provide skill feats that have pre-reqs.

[Fuzzy-Wuzzy]

There are several threads asking this. We're basically waiting for a developer to chime in with an answer (which I suspect may well require a developer meeting).

Seelah’s character sheet pregen indicates you get assurance without needing or getting the prerequisite training.
