You say you arent saying anything bad about us, your first post was slanderous and rediculous and i hope people see through you as we seen through you when you rang us and you didnt listen then, where do you get the info from about 2015 nvqs for the domestic market because ive never seen that stated anywhere and how could they possibly police it, They done it for gas and electricity because they were dangerous but thats it. They tried to do this in germany years ago about bringing in tiling plastering etc quals for domestic, it didnt work and they threw it out, im an nvq assessor, have a level 3 qualifications and have been in the construction industry for 25 years running my own companies in it and teaching for over 9 years and I have a state of the art 10,000 square foot training facility better than the collages set up because ive taught and run the full collage programs as well, Any training facility is simulated and what can be learned there is only part of knowing what to do, thats why NVQs are work based out on site for experience, level 3 OSAT aint that hard to get out on an assessment, in tiling, plastering etc there is only 8 units with a couple of extra optional ones, if you say someone has been on the tools for 12 years and not capable then there is something wrong there, still and NVQ is a bit of paper and reflects nothing about your practical capabilities, just because someone has a driving licence doesnt mean they are a good driver. There are plenty of crap drivers with licences so papers mean little really. Im not against qualifications thats why we give them and tell people all the options of gaining more. The training and skills are the ultimate what people need so we deliver the whole package. Our whole course program is at level 3 on the QCF / NQF which meets the strict rules set out by ELCAS, I have submitted all the relevent paperwork which was clearly and easily approved first time by ELCAS themselves over 12 months ago, we have been an approved supplier on the CTP for over 4 years, so how can you tell people not to come to us, who are you anyway.
As for controlling this forum well i dont, i can point you down an independent tiling forum
www.tilersforums.co.uk where we have over 300 independent positive feedback testimonials about the quality of our courses
Our courses gives a full understanding of being "successfull in self employment in the construction trades" , there is a lot more to running a construction trade business than doing the actual trade which is what we teach (the whole package, marketing, accounts, pricing, measuring, tax, wages etc and they can choose the trades they are interested in getting a start in), we work closely with the collage where people can progress futher if they wish to but our program gives them a start in a new career with the understanding of how to run a business in a trade, there are very few centres that gives as much info as we do about resettling on a new career which is why we are so well respected and our feedback is exceptional because we go out of our way to add the personal touch to each and every force leaver, so be carefull before you go ahead and slander off a busines that you know nothing about or what you personally asume.
Nearly every service leaver that completes are courses come into the office on their last day and give the girls chocolates, wine etc and thank you cards expressing their enjoyable time with us, hardly the actions of dissapointed people
I dont think i need to answer any more on this topic, im too busy running a business, maybe you should do the same and get on with whatever you do and dont ring us again and waste my time
