The Glasshaus url (click logo on page) redirects to another url =
indicating
some tile company. =20

And that=92s without taking into account the fact that the url is for =
butler
new media yet the identity of the website is Glasshaus.

Oh dear! Like I said previously, if you need training for a job you =
simply
shouldn=92t pay for it, because the work you receive would more than =
cover the
'employers' expenses, and thus negates the need for an upfront fee.

This is more interesting; this is the full content of a book published=20
by a previous employer of mine. The company no longer exists and the=20
book is out of print but I'm pretty sure the copyright will still belong =

to somebody.=20

suggests the content was lifted directly from the CD that accompanied=20
the book. The content is also five years old and claims XHTML is an=20
"emerging technology", so it's not exactly up to date either.

If this was all you got from paying the training fee, and any further=20
enquiries have been ignored, I'm pretty sure this would fall under the=20
category of "scam".
