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.

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!!!

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
