Jobs after professional tiling course

[purleyite]

Hi,

Hyperthetically, would you consider taking someone on who has just completed a professional tiler training course?

I have, previously, taken on "newbies" in a labouring capacity. Having given them the opportunity to demonstrate their ability with setting out and marking their own cuts, as well as fixing a few tiles I feel that I completely under-estimated their confidence and abilities.

I'm not knocking anyone that has come through a tile training course (in fact I updated my knowledge by means of a training course) but there is no accounting for experience. It's the little things like remembering to keep tools clean or your workspace organised, i.e. the stuff you don't learn on a course :smilewinkgrin:.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and expectations have to be set accordingly.
