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.

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.

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.
