Hi i'm new to this forum and I thinkt he way you have gone on about Beyond Construction is a disgrace. I was unemployed and went on short course through a jobcentre plus provider to help me in the wall and floor tiling industry, I have had a little knowledge through a 4day course with another company of which was useless to me as we were only shown how to use 1 type of tile. Whilst at Beyond I met Martin and Dave along with the Tiling instructor Rob, who i taught me alot in the short time I was there, we did not just use 6 by 6 tiles like some companies use but was shown how to use mosiac tiles, design patterns, use and cut marble tiles, slate tiles along with the ceramic tiles. I enjoyed my 6 week course so much that Dave helped me source funding so I could do my NVQ level 2 in wall and floor Tiling of which is CITB/C&G approved and also within that NVQ I undertook my CSCS card of which I passed. They also have a secure student area of which vacancies and help is updated on a regular basis, I have now found full time employment with a national company and I have also gained my NVQ 2 in Tiling and awaiting for them to okay me in completing my NVQ 3 of which all going well I should start in September. There are alot of self funders out there who are on their courses and they are comming from as far afield as Aberdeen and London to do the course as it is one of the best if not the best around, I would put them on par with what I have heard about Ashington college of whom is the industry leader.

There is my 2 pence worth and I would recomend Beyond Group to anyone.
