Times must be getting hard for trainers one is offering a 5 day course on ebay for £275 or best offer

5 Day Intensive Tiling Course on eBay, also, Plastering, Building Materials Supplies, Business, Office Industrial (end time 15-Jul-08 09

09 BST)

Is it really getting that hard for the courses?

Looks like a course for DIYers, but at the end you don´t reach a level NVQ or whatever it is called in the UK. I think such a course is interesting to plumbers and/or painters who have 1 man doing a little bit tiling besides the normal work. But after visiting such a course I hope nobody claims to call himself a pro tiler.

This place has been trying to sell courses on ebay since 2006 and I said TRYING. Dont know if you noticed but on the feedback it appears that only 2 people have actually attended.
Don't know about there tiling but judging by the set up the carpenter needs shooting

As for the original question regarding centres struggling my guess is no doubt some are but like everything in life only the strong will survive
