Customer Feedback

Original copies of completed questionnaires are available to be viewed at our office in Stoke-on-Trent. Some courses do not run every month and not everyone who completes the questionnaire adds comments and but the following are some we received …

Mr Carroll, Stoke-On-Trent, Plastering

July 2008 - Tiling Course

The methods that this course has shown are priceless and the tutor was very helpful, polite and patient. The course content was excellent because during the week it broke down all the vital aspects concerning wall and floor tiling. I feel more confident because I was mainly worried about setting up and this course has shown me excellent ways and methods to do this. I've already recommended the course because I think it's a brilliant training centre and I will be coming back myself.

Mr Hyams, Nottingham, Tiling

The course was very informative and enjoyable. The tutor made it very easy to understand and explained things superbly. Well worth attending. The methods taught were excellent. Knowing the techniques required to do this job is vital to success and I now feel well prepared to take this forward. I would thoroughly endorse the course.

Mr Flanagan, Staffordshire, Tiling

You can learn more than the basics and get to down to tiling quickly. The methods used are easy to apply. Before this course I had never tiled before and now I have seen what I am capable of. I k now people who are out of work and want to learn a trade and this is better than college. I didn't think I would be able to produce what I have just after a week.

Mr Pickerill, Staffordshire, Tiling

Excellent training - before the course I had never put a tile on a wall or floor and I'm now confident of tiling to a high standard.

Mr Murray, Cheshire, Tiling

Gives you a very good understanding of the principles and practical side of tiling. I didn't feel as though I was rushed to do anything or waiting around for something to do.

Mrs Beckett-Davies, Staffordshire, Tiling

I feel have taken on board more than I expected. I will walk away feeling confident to do anything I have learned on this course. I already have recommended this course.

Mr McMonagle, Nottingham, Tiling

Mr Mortes-Jimenez, Plastering

Having 2 kitchen studios it was very valuable in fully understanding the plastering jobs we undertake on a weekly basis. I did not think at the start of the week I could get plaster on the walls, never mind plaster a room. Thank you to the tutor for a very enjoyable and informative week.

Mr Jones, Plastering

I learned a lot in one week - it's amazing what you can achieve having the right help. All tools were provided with plenty of them so no need to share. You also had your own tools to take away with you. The info which the tutor told was clear and helpful. I think the course was very good in every way. The layout of the place was excellent, tutors are polite and always on hand to help. I would attend another course knowing what you achieve.

Mr Lilley, Plastering

Mr Deaville, Plastering

I have gained skills in this one week that I thought wasn't possible.

Mr Hunt, Plastering

I knew plastering from working on site but never had the chance to put it into action. The tutor explained the process excellently. I didn't expect to plaster to the standard I am at now within a week.

Mr G Winstanley, Plastering

Potential part-time employment and invaluable as a DIY skill about the home. The tutor was always around to help and give advice and encouragement. Lots of practical work and lots of good tips.

Mr Sheldon, Plumbing

June 2008 - Kitchen Fitting Course

Plenty of hands on help & advice available and I was very pleased to be able to plaster confidently by the end of the week – despite thinking before the course that this would not be possible.

The course covers all bases. My own expectations were high but it was better than that.

Quality of tutoring and course content could not be faulted.

Excellent all a round course.

I feel that it was a good investment of my time because it will help me with my future employment.

There were aspects of plastering that I needed help with and within a couple of hours of help from Keith (plastering tutor) I realized my money had been wisely spent.

I had no understanding of the subject before and now I feel able to undertake a job.

Spot on, no messing, hands-on learning.

Very easy going personable tutor.

Great teacher – you only had to ask if you’re not sure.

With me wanting to do everything right first time I was asking him questions and asking him to check my work and every time I did he was happy to help.

Fully confident due to the tutor and the knowledge I have gained from him.

Have good understanding & skills required now.

I feel confident I could complete a plastering job after attending the course.

The content was spot on. The content is what you’ll be doing on future jobs.

The course provided a full range of plastering skills and was run in a professional manner.

I was really looking forward to the course and the course proved to be very good.

This was a good investment of time as what has been learned is understood and can be used to do a good job.

I enjoyed everything about the course.

I did not know a thing when I first came now I have the confidence to plaster.

The course is very well run and you always have something to do.

The content was good because not only did it teach plumbing but also how to set up your own business.

The course tutor was approachable and instilled confidence in you.

I didn’t think that I would learn so much.  It has also boosted my confidence.

You are welcome to view all completed questionnaires. We also send questionnaires to people a short time after they have completed a course to check if they have benefited from the course and we find that a large number of those that respond have either completed work on their own property or have completed paid work for others and some have even now become self employed plasterers.
