[QUOTE="UKTT Darren, post: 501818, member: 739"] We can keep this light hearted, When did any training centre say they produced expert tilers with 34 years experience in 2 weeks, never, what we do is give people a great understanding of all the subjects above, which we cover by the way, then they can go out and gain their experience and learn same as you have and are, All i know is that thet are going out there with a good start A lot of methods are repetitive like cutting angles for trims or spreading adhesive etc, once you have been shown how to do something and done it then you would do the same thing again. Take one of your points above, setting out as you mentioned, had a tiler in a couple of weeks ago doing the plastering course, 20 years experience tiling, still sets out with a tape measure, not sure if you use this method but its a joke, i know this method inside out by the way, way over complicated and far too slow, ive got much quicker, faster more accurate ways of teaching people how to do setting out which can give you all the cuts in even the most complicated bathroom or multiple room floors in under 5 mins I can and have shown thousands of people and get them to cut every shape perfectly out of tiles in 2-3 hours on the first afternoon of the course, not with a crappy pair of nippers like you and I were taught in the old days off some tiler that was shown the same method 40 years prior, my ways are modern inovative ways that get the job done far more quicker and more accuratly and not with 20 cuts in a wet saw or any other electrical cutting tools [IMG]http://www.learntotile.co.uk/images/stories/angel.jpg[/IMG] Have a look at this pic that a learner did in the first couple of days on the course, no prior tiling experience, The angel was cut from 450 x 450 9mm porcelain then re cut back into a set of tiles, took the lad about 45 mins to do the whole lot If you live close you could have poped in, you say you never stop learning, well you would learn something from the ways that i do things, different modern methods that i have created, i respect the fact that your a seasoned tiler but ive had seasoned tilers come for the other trades that we teach and they have been shocked when theyve stuck their head in to see whats going on, i end up showing them methods especially the setting out i use Anyway, like i said we are setting people on their way into the industry to build up a career, hopefully they are in it for the length of time you have been in the game Regards Darren [/QUOTE]
