The domain name (website address) was registered on 11th Feb 2009 so about 3 years old now. That isn't to say the actual website and company is as old, often possible domain names are bought during thinking stages of a new startup as they are so cheap (.com's are about £9 per year if that).

There are a couple of long-standing companies with similar names - one is good one isn't. So have a good look around on the forum - I would recommend going visit three training centres - see them in action - talk to genuine students (one you ask not ones they fetch for you) and consider travelling to one that isn't the closest if it is you're just picking one due to it being local. If you are starting a business or touching up on your existing skills - you want the best of the best not just this one or that one.


If you know nothing about them - perhaps look for somebody else. You need somebody you have heard lots of good things about, and for some time too.

After having a good look around that website, it appears to NOT be an actual training centre, but a website that gets training centres on board, finds people to sell courses to, then sell those people to the training centres. From what I can tell at least.

GO VISIT TRAINING CENTRES - if they don't tell you where they are and how to get to them BEFORE you book your course - they're probably NOT a training provider but just a website middleman.

See here as to why middlemen are not required (ref: wedotrades article): WeDoTrades go into Liquidation | Tile News

Yes i did 2 hours on a Saturday and 2 on a Wednesday, but you can login and do it whenever you want to. It’s a good system as you get the trainers mobile number in case you get stuck! The best part is i study mine for 2 weeks and called the trainer and he came to see me to do the exam, we just sat in the kitchen and used his laptop was so simple. Hope this helps you d3nna-83
