do you think that some training centres should be more honest

We attend a lot of tile training centres mainly to do demos to students.

Have to say most seem to deliver a good basic skill set (bit like learning to drive a car) and then once out in the field its experience next which cant be taught.

Its getting tough out there which we have noticed that by way of late and delayed payments for stock. So we've had to drop the minimum orders of ten sets down to five sets at a time to help. Its almost a pay as you go type of arrangement with at least four of the eight centres we service. But I dont mind because if its tight for them then I want them to survive the recession and come out stronger. For us the goal is long term. And meeting new tilers at the start of their career is the best way.

As for ethics of trading I dont comment but I think there are centres that are better at some things. As for selling the tiling dream... Well we have a new sponsor onsite for Australia! Maybe I will up-sticks and set up in the sunshine :8:

I'm just bumping some of the tiling course & tiling training related threads. Ignore them if they're not current threads for you. They will drop back off the list in a week or so, and I don't do this much.
