Hi guy's

The reason I have found this site is that I might possibly be taking volentary from my work and have been trying think about getting into the tile.So this might be the best time for me to leave my job cause I can leave with some money(not a lot) to fund a course, but choosing the right course is proving hard due the different lenths and costs.If things go the way I am kind of planning then I would take my money and leave and go sit a course once I have choosen the right one with the possibilty of being offered a mon-fri 9-5 job soon(not definate) so I would hope to get homers at night and weekends to bring in a good income.But also with big changes in my life just now the thought of becoming a Tiler and moving abroad with the skills(not sure how the courses help with getting qualified for this)is starting to appeal to me, so maybe a would be better with a different course if I was to forget moving in future .

As I live in central Scotland the choice of courses are fewer than in England I have been looking at Tile Training School in Edinburgh(hi guy's ) who do a 4wk course for £1950 with good feedback also NETT (hi guy's) who longest course if I am right is 8 day's and at a cost of £950 with a special deal just now at £845 a think and also good feedback then I have seen Master tile School in Essex(not sure if you on here) doing a budget 6wk course for £2000 and a 8wk course for £3800 but I would also need to think about accomidation aswell.Just need to really think about it and use my redundancy money wisely as they all say you will be confident in taking on any job once you complete the course.

Sorry for long post lol but just looking for advice/knowledge and feedback and maybe there is a few similar cases that have went through this.

Thanks

Tommy

Hi Tom

We get loads down from Scotland as we are not that far, couple hours drive, the accomadation is 5 mins walk from the training centre as is all the pubs and eating places so you can socialise with others on the course that are staying over as well on an evening,

we offer very fast track straight to the point courses to try and get you out earning ASAP,

Multi skilling is the way forward now so have you thought about spending your money over a few diferent courses, learning tile, plumbing and plastering then you are covering more avenues for work, plus you can do all the neccessary things yourself requied when doing a bathroom.

Any help or extra info, give me a pm or ring Tracey at the office on 0191 4274529 and we will be more than helpfull in answering your questions

Regards
Darren

Hi Tom,
Choosing a course can be a gamble, thats why the course reviews helps out, any salesman can give you the patter down the phone, its the real people that gives you the true reflection, have a look at the last 6 months of feedback and take it from there, feedback from someone that attended 2 years ago is becoming not that relevant to a degree.

Most of our people, probably 80% havent touched a tile before but still end up out there doing well, like i said before our feedback is our what we judge our delivery of training to be like, and if you have a read through you will see that its not really a gamble as to whether your course will be good or not. All training centres any lenght can only give you the understanding of how to do the job and practice in their artificial set ups, its the real world where you learn, so when you leave them, take it easy and build your confidence up as you go.
Hope this helps
Darren :thumbsup:
