Re: pts warrington

i went on the same course and more than half of the blokes were moaning at the amount of time we had on our projects and that they felt it wasn't worth the money...

Hi Hometiler, how do you mean they were moaning at the ammount of time on projects? Too long on them or not enough?

Hi Johndoboy, there is lots of comment about this particular course, do a search and I am sure you will find what you need. I did the same course a few months a go. Check out some of my threads/replies.

Grumpy.

Some where in the forum it actually says that beano has left ..i can't find the thread..but i'm sure someone said he got a better offer somewhere he couldn't refuse,,,

Some projects we did... i felt.. we didn't have enough time to finish them.

Johndoboy
My comments are based on my experience off the course..the staff were excellant and i don't want to come across that they were to blame ..
the structure of the course to me was abit un organised ...ie timing of projects...not showing different cement bas materials (always ardex stuff..which i can't find a supllier where i'm from...lol)...not showing the use of a grinder which apperantly most tilers use....if you want to learn basic stuff in tiling then this course is for you ...thing is don't expect to be professional in a matter of four weeks ..."like i did"
the bays are kitted out with a bathroom and sink...no kitchen work tops no light switches...and you hardly ever tile a floor...and if you aint quick enough forget about grouting,,,,lol
also we didn't get any projects in mosaic tiling...maybe i expected to much from this course but this is only my opinion!!
if i were to mark it out of ten
7.5/10
not too bad eh...lol
to be honest it's a good stepping stone...but abit expensive
good luck!
