5 Day Intensive Wall and Floor Tiling Course
£650 including vat
This is our intensive 5 day wall and floor tiling course and is suitable for complete beginners with no previous experience, enthusiastic DIY’ers, other tradespersons wishing to enter the tiling industry. We have no more than 6 tiling students per instructor. We also offer a 10 day tiling course, 10 Day Intensive Wall & Floor Tiling Course
Prior knowledge of tiling is not needed to start the course as we can start straight from scratch or if you have some prior skills we can tailor the course to suit your needs. With a low student to trainer ratio in specific tiling training bays we can differentiate to each students needs and add more complex aspects to the course should you learn quicker than others.
Our target is to have you leave the tiling course armed with enough skills, information and confidence to begin your new tiling career as a professional tiler and make a success of it, as many of our former students have. Our latest effectiveness poll returned 23 out of 30 students have set up and are enjoying their new self employed tiling careers.
Our tiling courses are unique in that we provide a tiling information pack that we have built up over the years with lots of helpful tips and advice, a ’tiling manual’ if you like showing everything from setting out a room with different obstacles to which tiling adhesives and primers are needed for different substrates. The ’tiling manual’ doesn’t take the place of tutored learning but it is always there as a reference after the course.
Please feel free to book a visit and have a look around the centre and chat to tiling students already on the tiling course!!
The tiling course will be conducted as if you were involved in a tiler’s working week going through all the stages of conducting everyday tiling projects.
