Tiling course at YTA Bradford has gone horribly wrong

[Time's Ran Out]

The problem is Mighty Drew we here in this forum are not allowed to post comments in the Training section of this site by order of the owner!
You see it is thought that we are so negative in our responses to the expectations and charges that are advertised in these training centres that it will affect the support given to the running of the forum.
Hence you have had to find out the unfortunate way and I should only advise that you take up your issues with the owner who may be able to pass your concerns onto his sponsor ( if indeed they are as I haven't a clue)!
All I can add to this post is anyone is considering a training course I'd suggest you contact a member - Deanotile- as he is passionate in respect of training.
If you consider it's misrepresentation then Trading Standards would be the way forward.

Just out of interest how long was the course? I'd be more than happy fir someone to shadow me for a couple of weeks fir £1350.00 in my back pocket!
With the extra income and free-ish labour and could slash my prices down to that of the Eastern Europeans.

4 weeks total... 1 week plumbing, 1 week plastering, 2 weeks tiling.

Believe it or not, that was a "4 for the price of 3 deal" meaning I got it cheaper. It should've been £1,800!!!

They must have seen you coming!
What could you possibly learn in 4 weeks that would give you any qualifications at all.

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice / help by somebody in the know or anybody who has done a similar course, as I fear I have been robbed by YTA.

I spent £1,350 on City & Guilds training courses at YTA Bradford - I passed all courses but then afterwards I was told they lost City & Guilds accreditation so I can't get my certificates!

I paid so much for the courses believing I would get the certificates which I would use to prove my training, which would then enable me to get work as a tiler. I could've done the exact same courses for half the price without the C&G certificates. Now, if I want the proper certificates I will have to pay to do some more courses at a proper training centre.

They won't refund me anything, not even half the costs (as if I had done the non-accreddited courses).

It has turned out to be a very expensive mistake using them.

do you know what the qualification was ? i doubt it was a diploma so more likely something like the 6219 http://www.cityandguilds.com/qualif...onstruction-skills#tab=information&acc=level1 this is a taster and was never designed to be a passage in to the trade. more a passage on to the diploma 1 then 2 and then on to do the NVQ 1 or 2 if you are lucky enough to be working in the industry by then.

why didnt you just sign on for a month and then take the course for free? would of been a cheaper option as its free for what sounds like that exact course
