Hi Kevin,
My name is Russell Taylor I run the Tile Doctor course, I dont normally bother with General Cleaning Forums but I was told of your misleading and untrue allegations about us so I thought it would be best top respond in person and put you right. about a few things.
1. First of all if you had been down to see us operting our Training courses you would realise it is all hands on Training < not theory,we leave that to The Tile Doctor Manual for the Tile Doctors to study in their own time > .
2. Unlike most of the Tile Cleaning courses I come from a Tiling background, 6 years in Tile Retail in The Northwest and 2 years as a self employed Tiler, of the last 10 years I have been a Tile Doctor to boot, so our experience is all hands on and passed down to our Tile Doctors.
3. Nobody signs a form to say that they must only buy our Products and nobody elses on our Starter courses, so get your facts right, this would be pretty absurd of us dont you think, if However you are talking about Advanced Tile Doctors then thats a different matter, as we do a free website for all Advanced Tile Doctors free updates for the website, free leads for the area they are covering and free advice if they get stuck on a job, provided they only buy Tile Doctor products for Tile Doctor jobs, I think that is very fair, so whoever i giving you your info isnt a Tile Doctor Otherwise you would have got this right instead of trying to mislead people.

5 We dont use Aqua-mix and we had stopped using them for Quite a lot of things even before they pulled out of the U.K last year, Aqua-mix had some good products but not everything they made was brilliant, so we have been sourcing our own for quite a while now.
6 Our prices reflect the general prices on offer on any Tile shop website, < again get your facts right > if they didnt then I am sure we wouldnt sell Tens of thousands of pounds of stock every month.
In Addition we have had quite a few people that have been on your course and then to us and told us how Arrogant you are and cant be told anything.
We are the only Training course for Tile Cleaning in the country that has a limit of 3 people on any one course, this is because we firmly believe in Hands on Training approach and to many people get left out, thats why We set the limit and the standards on our Training courses.
Your examples on pricing are about 5 years out of date, so its not worth answering to these, your info is not as good as you think it is, I can only think you have been talking to Ian Taylor ex Aquamix guy, who I belive helps you with your Training courses as you dont have enough experience to be able to do it yourself.
