It would need to be open to all

2.a committe would need to be formed.

Couldn't agree more

3.you are giving other people the opportunity to provide competition for your work.

Conflict of interest always plays a part so would screening be fair?This would depend on who's on the commitee?

4.who is going to pay for the persons tools(NOT THEM BECAUSE THEY CANT AFFORD THE PRICE OF THE COURSE)
This could be the training centre that agrees to train with some kind of scheme in place or again the business that they are contracted to?

I know not all will agree with me but i feel that these issues had to be raised and feel free to comment on them.

In addition who is going to pay for the digs and the persons travelling expenses etc if they have to travel?

it would be a lot of work lol

Thanks all for thinking about things like this but as a forum we're here to provide free tiling advice - The tiling courses thing is just to help those that are looking into courses.

I wouldn't want a 'winner' as there would be many more 'loosers' and that's not what we're about.

There are loads of funds available for the right new business - and the right tiler wanna-be already and we're certainy not one of them.

I agree, you could make anything work, but to do such a thing would simply stick us in the already shaken up training game which is getting better by the month without our help.

So for the moment (as the dragons would say) I'm out.

To add to this some info on funding has been provided by Ant from Chase Tiling Academy in THIS forum.
