[QUOTE="ChaseTiling, post: 24215"] A very interesting point that should raise a lot of debate here, as I know that 90% of the guys on here are from a 'short course' background. College courses are good in their own right if you have the time to get them done. Also providing that you are willing to sit around 16-18 year old apprentices that do nothing but mess about all day. The problem is, is that most adult learners are from a background of work already and are at the edge of desperation with their current job. Because of their financial commitments, they want a rapid career change to help get them back a feeling of job satisfaction again. They cant wait 2 years to get that. So they choose to pay for the privelige of getting a new skill in rapid time. And yes, there are a few centres that do make you pay 'dearly' for this. Another problem that potential learners are faced with, is the fact that their are now nearly 50 private centres in the UK that provide tiling training. And only 2 of them are accredited to provide City & Guilds Level 2 training (ICA & NVQ). We are one of them. Our non City & Guilds courses are also accredited by th NOCN, and are progression awards to help in the creation of your portfolio for your NVQ. This has come from constant Tutor, Curriculum and Centre evaluation, and with a positive attitude towards ensuring that learners are getting value for money and the correct training. Not getting learners to pay £4500 for a 'course attended' certificate, and getting a poor standard of training. Course after course, we get learners that have done tiling courses elsewhere and have come to top up what they didn't learn, wishing they had come here to us in the first place. Its shocking to hear what some of these people have paid for what they got. In summary: College for those that can wait. An [B][U]accredited[/U][/B] tiling training centre for those that can't. Best regards Chase Tiling Academy [/QUOTE]
