I think Northumberland College at Ashington shut their tiling course a few years ago as well.
A sad,sad decision that will be regretted....but not by the people who made the decision to shut the course.

We're running out of ways for people to get into the trade that aren't involving independent training centres.

Wonder if they're sending them somewhere else?

I do apologise and take my comments back if that is the case.
They definitely did cancel the course(possibly to rebuild that block?) and might have restarted the course.
Well good luck to everyone doing their course,I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

Not sure , I just checked the Ashington web page and they are still advertising them

 

[Dan]

Perhaps started them again then.

Hopefully the manc one sees the light?!

Can't believe it I can't. A college stopping a course that's needed now more than ever.

Alan "Ya Ya" brown is indeed a top man, When he was at weber we had many a trade event, always won the fixers over as well.

The Government have implemented a 25% cut on adult funding, it is for lack of a better word killing all adult provision that is supported by funding from the Government. I'v been teaching for the best part of 6 years now and this is our enrolment week and its never been this slow..
