tiling course right or wrong?

[Mctile]

I thing I have been robbed
I have done a course at Yorkshire tiling academy and some things on this site tell me that the course is not right, the guys are nice and seem to know what there doing but there are some things that don’t seem right, can any one put my mind at rest
1) PVA every thing before tiling.
2) For the corner tiles put a dot in the centre so you can move the tile to where you want it.
3) take photos off the net and put them in to a book and tell the customers you have done them,
4) Tell the customer and insurance company that you have been tiling for 2 to 3 years

Thanks Mc

Is this a joke/wind up?
What do you mean by "For the corner tiles put a dot in the centre so you can move the tile to where you want it"

Wrong. Clearly Wrong.

Normally the YTA lads check on here every few days so they'll be here to stand their corner if this is a wind-up.

But that's so so wrong. PVA everything? they know better than that and even I know that they know better than that.

You wouldn't be competition of YTA would you MC?

this is not a joke this is what is on the course
the dot is a large dot of adhesive that is put in the centre of the tile so you can move the tile to fit like pushing on one corner or one side to line the tile up.

Dan i have been on the course and i have the certificate the give at the end of the course for what its worth

If they are telling you to take photo's and pass them off as your own you should report them to trading standards. Rememeber if you pass off someone else's work as your own to get business i would think that was illegal and if your work isn't as good as the photo's your reputation will soon be very bad and you might get reported to ts.

It doesnt sound as if your certificate is worth anything to me from what you say. If you were on site with me and you used those methods i would kick you off myself.

That is not good working practice m8,so if you are unsure of how to do anything properly then just put a new thread on the forum and the lads and lasses will set you off in the right direction.Sorry but it sounds a waste of money but i hope you get something out of it m8.

Wow - so it's true. I'm speechless so I'll say nowt. :huh2: :mad2:

I dont think any tiling school or academy, would be nieve enough to think comments made like these on a course would not end up here for all to view. It sounds like a joke to me, but time will tell, if it is found to be true....a reputation will be badly tarnished and surely buisness lost. I'm certain YTA will take this allogation very seriously

I hope it isn't true. Just imagine the quality of the work out there if it is. No offence Mc.
