We ran the multi skills for 5 years which worked well but it was a lot to manage, our 10000 square foot building was up for renewal so i have decided to go back to what we started with just myself doing the training instead of 10 staff to worry about and take life a bit easier without the stress
How is your tiling business Dave, still doing well

Glad to here it
I think the domestic work should be getting better and better, time fly's, its nearly 10 years since i started on this forum and it has just disappeared looking back, as you get older you don't need the hassle, just an easy life, do some graft then come home and watch the telly.

My Experience

UK Trades training. (AKA Darren & Tracy)

I took a gamble with my redundancy, I didn't get much, as you'd expect for working 15 years for the same firm (completely different industries), but decided to give the old plastering a go and completed the course with UK trade training, I learnt so much in that week, it was unbelievable, and after spending a little time practising on friends and family homes, I'm now a fully paid up, insured business, I have earned all the money I paid for the course and the equipment back and some, and so went back to do the tiling course, but this time knowing that there was no gamble with the money , and again learnt so much and a bit more (its a full on course), now after again practising on friends and family's bathrooms and kitchens and I'm now making a return on that investment. Albeit on a part time basis at the mo. Also even though Darren had taken some time out from the business he still responded to my email regarding course notes, so as promised on the course, the support after the course is definitely there. (top service)

Can't fault both the training contents, how the course is delivered and the great service from Tracy and Darren.
I wish them both well in the future.
Regards
D

I've just finished a 5 day wall/floor/natural stone course up at UK Pro Tiling Training (formerly known as NETT) and have to say the course was excellent! You will be surprised how good you can get in a very short space of time. Apart from learning loads on the practical side, where the course really excels is from a business standpoint. Darren has been/still is an extremely successful businessman and teaches his principles of success in a very easy to understand and clear way so that the average tiler can very quickly become a "Businessman working as a tiler" and not the other way around. I've been in the game for 15 years on and off and just felt it was time to re-train and learn some new skills hence the reason for doing the course in the first place. But as mentioned before, the real eye opener was from a business aspect and if I follow what has been taught down to a tee without deviating from the plan then work will be flowing in within a few short months! Thanks again guys!!
