Default Re: are courses better than a good book ?

Tiling isnt hard to begin with - but its challenging to go on with.

No course can guarantee you financial success, and thats why they don't do that - they show you the potential and the rest is up to you.

Even if you tot up the people who make a successful career move - and those that don't - as a way of gauging the success of tiling course it would be a
meaningless statistic because it doesnt take into account that about 35-40% of new businesses startups FAIL generally anyway (within 3 years of starting up) - regardless of what the business is !

So does that tell you much about the quality of a tiling course or an individuals ability to balance the books?
Also, to a small degree some people just want to learn a new skill regardless not neccessarily with the intention of starting a business.

A fairer question would be to ask people if they thought the course was worthwhile for THEM, and let people interprate that how they want.

If an individual finds a course on anything worthwhile, and got what they wanted out of it - surely thats all that matters isnt it?
