Train 4Trade Skills, good or bad?

[Dazza8965]

Hi all,
I would like any feedback on the above, I started with a course in Jan & had nothing but problems with them not returning calls well 99.5% of the time & waiting for the books/sections to come, 2 moths for this thus far & 6 week for last section, dam poor service I think & can anyone tell me if the course is valid at the end of it, meets with the new gas safe & part P regs?

Hi Dazza
Lots of comments about T4TS on this forum, none good as I recall.

Use the search function and you should find what you want.

I done my City & Guilds - Level 2 thro T4TS.
Yeah, they are a bit slow & never return your calls if you have a query.
You are better using the messaging system from the internet - were you do your TMA's (Tutor marked assesments)

Thing that p1ssed me off was that they over sold the course & they had too many students.
I had to wait 10 months for a free space to do my week 1 practical training.
but it got better (2 months)
Another thing, if you are paying it up on the interest free option - you cant do your 1st week practical until they have receive £1000 off you
(which is about 9 months)
I thought that was why I had to wait 10 months, but a bloke in my group had to wait the same length of time & he had paid for his course outright.

I'm am self employed - Got my own tiling business & now specialise in fitting full bathrooms.
The course was ideal for me.

Level 3 is £1800 more.......... so, I just bought the manual @£25 instead.

maybe I'll do it in a few years time once I've got more experience under my belt.

To sum up, stick with it - but it will only really work if you go self employed.

Hi all I have just joined to tell this story...after a Guy who was on my week one has been time barred from the course after 36 months so look into it google it ect and this boat is not all it's cracked up to be.....We've all been conned and probably missold the course. Best advice is get on with it and DON'T just think you've got forever to do it cos the salesman said so.....36 months thats IT!!!

Oh and t4ts BAD

VERY BAD
