4 grand for a tiling course?!?!?!?!?!?!

Hahaha appears u can swear! Haha
Outrageous amount of money and I didn't think Diplomas carried much weight?
But I don't know either.
 
And hasn't he said THEN you need to go for the NVQ?!
So that's not the full cost?!
 
£25 per hour buys you one to one private tuition for school subjects like french and maths etc based on that rate it would buy 160hrs tuition or 4 weeks
 
So it would come down to how many are on the course perhaps?
 
I thought I had this @Dan just dug it out of my email archive
