4 week PTS course in Harlow.

[alberttrotter1]

I have just completed the 4 week tiling course using PTS in Halow, Essex.
Considering that the only time i had touched a tile before starting this course was leaning over a urinal drunk in the pub. I found the course extremely interesting and after the first 2 weeks found that i had gained a lot of confidence, i then had a 2 week break( back to doing boring security work) before doing my final 2 weeks. The thing that i'm finding most fustrating is not doing any tiling at the moment. I have a lovely 104 square metres of flooring to do on my house in Spain at the end of the month, but i want to start creating and earning now. If anyone can provide tips/advice or work then it would be very greatly appreicated:thumbs_up:

Welcome to the Forum Albert. Leg work mate! Get the business cards out, get on the phone and get yourself known. I did the PTS course in Warrington, all my work so far has come from business card drops through letter boxes (part of the business start up that PTS do). I am building a rapport with the tile shops in my area and will soon start contacting other tradesmen in my area letting them know who I am. Starting my first "real" job tomorrow, kitchen splashbacks x 2 (medium kitchen, 2 separate areas) with 15 switches/sockets. Was very nervous when first went to see people, now just can't wait to get started. Need any help in Spain?:shades_smile:

Thank you for the offer, however its all unpaid work im afraid, but the cost of a beer works out to about 1 euro 50 and you get free tapas with every alcoholic drink you buy. Still if i can crack it on my own then i feel i'll be master floor tiler material by the end of it.
