Thanks in advance......

I always thought Darren done the training anyway

tf member foxman has been the trainer for a while Mark, has he gone?

 

[Gazzer]

Are all diamond training centres closing? as i have paid deposit of £900 for my course to start in january at the arundel centre

Yes that is the centre that has closed. Did you pay by card ?

What a bl**dy shame.....

Never nice to hear this happening and I am 100% sure Danny will have given everything he had to try and save the company.

Not great news for the trainees left in the lurch I know:mad2:Can they not continue their courses from the same stage they were up to at another Training Centre?

Take your time Danny and pick yourself back up:smilewinkgrin:

Hello...........:smilewinkgrin:

Yes i pad by credit card

 

[diamondtiling]

Yes i paid by credit card

You need to get onto your card provider asap.

how will that work do i just let them know that diamond have gone bust and i used there card to pay for it?

hmmmm, not sure how that would work as technically it was a deposit for a service next year, so they do still have time to meet their obligations, or the receivers do on their behalf.

I would contact the card company and explain what you think has happened and they should guide you. In the next few weeks you may receive a letter from the receiver letting you know what's happened if the directors are co-operating then the website may also be updated with details of who the recievers are and how to contact them

I wish Diamond Tiling (Dom) and the Diamond Training group didn't carry the same name, got right confused there for a bit....

To update on the Credit Card, I have contacted HSBC, my Credit Card provider, they are going to send me a Dispute Form which I complete and they will then decide on whether any compensation is due. As I had completed 5 of the 6 weeks they could not say for definite on the phone whether I will get any money back, they need to wait till they get all the details on the form.

I would think yours will be more straightforward Bickers as you have not had any of the training yet, but the first step is to phone the credit card supplier and get a dispute form

Danny did request through Dan that I change my name but seeing as I have had mine for 20 years I politely refused.

Hi thanks for all your help
I have phoned credit card company and as you say colour republic they do still have time to meet their obligations, or the receivers do on their behalf.
So i have to wait until my course starts or in the meantime get a letter from recievers or diamond put anything on their website to say they have gone bust, basically the credit card company want it in black and white before they can help me although they have made a record of the phone call.

Check with companies house, if or when they are dissolved they will be listed.

I dont like hearing about people going under, its not a nice thing to happen to anyone.

To put a lighter mood on the subject can anyone recommend a good tiling course to book up? although im slightly short on funds for now pls help

Hi everyone...

This maybe a normal occurrence on here due to the economic climate but after being made redundant I have decided to embark on a new career (direction) within tiling. I have already completed my Multi Craft award in Carpentry, P&D & Plumbing but realised finial finishing is what I enjoy most.

I am looking to book a course with Diamond Training Group from January after visiting their center.

Now before I start this new career and spend lots of money doing so..... has anyone got any hints & tips or perhaps reservations based on this 6 week course? Will it provide the training and confidence I require? Please note: I have a friend who is already a professional plasterer and tiler whiling to help me on jobs.

Little bit of info about me....

I am from a marketing background, so I understand the needs in respect to marketing a company and attaining new business via Business Networking Groups to Local Advertising etc. That said... any honest feedback or suggestions relating to above would be most appreciated.

Thanks
Russ
