hi,

I am thinking of doing a Tiling course eg: Diamond training.
Does anyone know if there is any sort of government funding that i can apply for to help pay for it, or at least my cost of living whilst doing the course.

Thanks,

Greg.

doubt it though but you could try the jobcentre

I think there is Government Funding through Train2Gain for the right person with the right situation (e.g. been made redundant I think I one of them they'll help you out with).

Contact the staff at Diamond and they'll point you in the right direction.

I think Train2Gain has stoped now but i may be wrong

Oh. There you go then. Another nobrain in the government has stopped another decent scheme.

I tryed the job centre but was told I had to be idle for 6 months, I tryed business gateway but at 34 was to old, my dad stumped up in the end but because course was more than 2 weeks I had to sign off. It's been tough but have had a few jobs since completing course at end of nov. Sometimes you've got to just go for it and it'll come good in the end (hopefully)

All the best Graeme

One thing that might work is getting a grant from the Princes Trust. Business Initiative around here helps you do it. You setup a business plan and then get a loan on a decent rate and you can spend that on getting trained and then pay it back when you have the money coming in. It's not like a normal loan like.

I contacted train to gain about funding towards a nvq2 in tiling, but they said that you have to be an empolyer and not just a one man band , they would only help out towards your employees. who did you speak to about this?

Hi Greg,

Glad to hear that you are thinking about attending a course with us at Diamond Training Group.

Can you tell me what area you are based in, as we have 2 funding streams available to help students enrolling on courses with us.

If you can tell me a little bit more about your circumstances and where you are based, i can then advise if you would meet the criteria.

Hope this helps.

With regards to Train 2 Gain, it has finished although you wont be told this. It finished around August last year due to the minister in charge of it no managing the funds correctly, he then later resigned over it.

Anyone who had already been registered with colleges or providers were covered but they could not accept any new enrollments and this is still the case. I know of a few different providers, not in construction training that went under due to this as they relied solely upon this funding.

All the best

Hi Danny @Diamond,

I am 29, live in the Berks/Surrey/Hants border area. I am currently employed in the facilities industry and have a joint household income of about £40000.

Anything else you need??

Thanks,

Greg.

Hi Greg,

It will be a lot easier if you can call the centre on 01903 739 407, to discuss funding available to you.

All the best
