Hey Tilers,
Sorry if your sick of these sort of posts but im just having a look around the site getting a feel for things. I am looking to throw commitment at becoming a tiler at the grand old age of 36. Trying to make sure im doing the right thing, because when i do commit myself, i do it properly otherwise im wasting my time and that of others. I remember a tiler coming to my apartment and doing a relatively small tile job in the kitchen, but he did a very good clean finish and i always admire a good job, no matter what it is. It cost £150 cash. I thought it was reasonable money given the fairly short time it took him, but it was well worth the cost. It inspired me shall we say.
Anyway im a manual lad myself, having worked in roofing yards when younger and worked on the roofs so im no stranger to graft and think id be suited to this.
Problem is im near Warrington and having had a good look ont net, there is only stc (previously pts) and im not keen as there is no recognised accreditation on completion of a 4 week course that costs £1,500. Thats no good to me.
Is there anywhere in Manchester where you can complete a 4-6 week course, whereby upon completion you obtain a recognised qualification, or a unit of progress towards one ?
If not then where are the recommended course locations which meet the above requirement ? Is it going to be Chase tiling or the construction skills college in staffs ?
Thanks in advance kev
