Post by: Mike Halliday on February 12, 2009, 06:10:08 pm: this is a tricky question, I spent £95 on a stain removal course and learnt nothing I've done this quite a few times. if I added it all up I might have spent ( or maybe wasted) £500 on crap training courses.

but how much can you learn in 1 day? enough to justify a price of £500? I don't think so.

Post by: Mike Osbourne on February 12, 2009, 06:31:03 pm: I guess the idea is how much it's worth to you when you apply what you have learnt.

If you charge less than CC, or it doesn't get you into some nice homes you wouldn't have got into then it probably isn't worth it.

Then you've got the what you could LOSE factor if you don't do the training and feel you can blag it only to make costly damage.

Then there's the piece of paper you get at the end of the course which to some is very important for lots of reasons.
