Are short course providers diluting the tiling trade.? - TilersForums.com

OK.. let's have the truth.. warts and all..

Do you as a long standing tiler and i am not talking about 2 or 3 years tiling.. do you long standing tilers think these quick buck providers are devaluing what is a specialised trade. ?


What are your feelings on this... honestly.. ?

yea they are and that is with all trades not just tiling

Problem is big companies going under and alternatives are going on your own, I'm an example and I'm 5 years trading on my own, it's the way the UK economy is and will not get any better, and will never be the same as before !

Just to add, this is not a dig at new comers to the trade, this is the training providers giving false hopes and mickey mouse certificates at the end of a week etc.

no matter how good you were on the coarse you are not ready for the real world and by GOD its mad at times

I feel the punters are being mislead by the promises given by some companies.

Yes Dave, I do think this trade is going down hill, the skills are being diluted day by day, tiling used to be a trade, but not anymore it seems.

I like you and many other members of this forum, who are real tilers, should feel resentment towards the pretenders.

That is very true... these providers are training in all trades and to get to the very high respected level that you are at, takes a bloody lot of years.
