Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Just Back from NETT. I enjoyed the course a lot suprising how much you can learn in 4 days. You will get shown everything you need to know to go out and start on your own from the practical side of tiling to the buisness side.
On the downside you don't get a lot of time to practice the techniques you are shown but then the whole point of the course is it is short and teaches you the techniques you need to know, not charge you hundreds of pounds to just to practice tiling ( you can do that at home in your own time with a cheap box of tiles). Also and this will probably be only be relevent to my 4 day course, Darren latched on to one guy on the course (a plumber) and spent a lot of the course talking to him, a lot of it one on one. I wouldn't say we were pissed off about it but it was spoken about amoungst a few of us on the course.
What I will say is Darren really knows his stuff and you can't get a much nicer person than Tracey. Would highly recomend doing the course.
 
Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Iv'e just finished the four day intensive tiling course, i had done a bit of tiling before, but just in my own bathroom and for members of family.
To be honest before i got there i thought there was not a lot you could learn in four days, i was wrong, Darren, Tracey and the team are excellent, and have helped me gain the confidence to start up my own business, the skills and knowlege that darren puts across are both easy to take in, and very effective.
Keep up the good work, and i'll see you again soon, to do the natural stone course.
P Binns. 🙂

North East Tiler Training Course

“Having been a design and marketing consultant, interspersed with a successful property developer over the last 12 years I have had a lot of short course experience. Whether it be courses I have been sent on, or done by my own volition, North East Tiling Training has to be amongst the best of all the courses I have ever attended.

The structure, knowledge base, information delivery and general function of the course is superb. The delivery is excellent and the no nonsense approach sorts the men from the boys! Darren should be proud of his structure and content. You need no other information or training to tile professionally”.
 
north east tiling

Hi everyone, just finished my training with North East Tiling Training in South Shields. I did the course over 2 consecutive weekends, and by the time I had finished the first weekend I couldn't wait to get back for the second one. Have to give a huge thankyou to Darren, Tracey & Paul for all the excellent instruction, the course was absolutely fantastic!! For anyone thinking about a career change into this line of work then I think you would be hard pushed to find a better route. The information is delivered well, it's easy to understand and Darren makes the learning process fun , while still managing to get his point across. The more practical aspect of the course takes you from a complete novice to a really high standard in what seems like no time at all. I still can't believe that I can cut these shapes out of tile with apparent ease after being shown how only once. So thanks again all at North East Tiling Training for your help with my life

Cheers
 
Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Attended the NETT course last week (July). Lots of students on my course - 21 I think - was a bit wary when I saw that many people and wondered whether Darren, Tracey and their small team would be able to deliver effectively. Needn't have worried. Started the week a comparative novice, had tiled my sisters bathroom (badly) a month or so before the course, but finished it feeling fully equipped to go into business in the tiling trade. Would recommend the course unreservedly.
 
Re: north east tiling

Hi all,

I just finished 4 day tiling course at NET and the 1 day natural stone tiling and must say how superb the courses are. The instruction is clear and to the point, yes, you have to listen and take notes and yes, lots is covered in the week, but this is what I wanted with having to take a week off work to do it. Darrent knows his stuff and puts it across so simply, I have to thank him for such a great course, and Tracy, thanks for your words of confidence and advice and also thanks to Paul and Colin for both their advice and help. I hadn't done any tiling before coming onto this course and yes, I wasn't great at the begining of it, but this was just a confidence thing and am now putting tiles up with ease. I have just got my first trade account ( 50% off ) and doing a job next weekend. I've got the confidence to go out and market myself and this is because of Darren showing us how to do this and putting it across so well. All I can say is, if you are thinking of doing a tiling course that offers a lot more than just putting tiles up on the wall, you need to go and do this course and if you want to advance, do the natural stone too - a must!! Many thanks to all at NET and a big hello to all who attended the course on the week from 29th July, all a great set of lads!

Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

North East Tiling

Hi,
Just would love to say a big thanks to Darren and Tracy at N.E.T.T,as well as Paul and Colin.
Myself and a mate done the 4 day course then the 1 day Natural Stone Course, July 30th-Aug 3rd.
What a great course it was,Darren must be the best in his field, he covers most every aspect there is to tiling, not to mention the business side of it.,which is what he kept drumming into us. If anyone is in in doubt as to what course to choose, Do the N.E.T.T..I done extensive research on most Tiling couses, and narrowed it down to about half a dozen, only to pick this, as the volume of positive feedback speaks for itself.. there is a lot to take in, but if your willing to listen it will sink in..We left there with a brand new confidence and ready for a future in Tiling (had never even layed a tile before this)Got a few jobs for friends and family to do ,to get some speed and more confidence built up, then gonna unleash ourselves to the public.
LOOK OUT!
LOL.
Vinnie and Colin.
 
Re: North East Tiling

Darren I could do with some personnel advice,
My birds giving me grief cause me and the lads are going to Brighton for the Bank Holiday weekend,she wants to go and visit her parents(which ain't fooking happening EVER!)
How can I keep her sweet?

Hope your all well at NETT.🙂

Congrats to Vinnie and Colin
 
Re: North East Tiling

Do the womens trick mate. have a big arguement the night before & she'll get up & go herself, slamming the door behind her.:shades_smile:
 
NETT course

well went on the NETT course and what can i say but FANTASTIC! I went on with what you would call hardly any knowledge and now feel that I could take on the world.
Darren really gives you the confidence and self belief that you could do all the things that he says at the end of the course.
I would highly recommend his course to anyone as he makes it easy to take in and also its really interesting aswell.
Must make a mention to Tracy who keeps the coffee, tea and biscuits topped up.
I thought that the business side of the course was really interesting and full of good info and help so as to get you on the first steps to taking over the world.
Thanks again for all your help and advice.

Grout and About.

North East Tiling Training

I attended the 4 day + the natural stone course last week..
what can I say that hasn't already been said.... absolutely 'kin excellent🙂

The course is very well structured and professionally delivered. Everything is given in layman's terms so no worries about not understanding any parts of it.

I can honestly say I've never learnt so much in such a short space of time. The other thing is, 'You're not taught anything you don't need'
For the 1st time in my life I used adhesive without looking as if I'd been wading thru it🙂

Yes, it is an intense course, but only in terms of hours put into it, the knowledge gained in just one week makes it the most sensible move I've made in a long time..
I couldn't reccommend this course more highly, any aspiring tilers out there wondering which course to enrol on??? THIS IS IT....in my own humble opinion..
Any tilers who are self taught but haven't been doing it long enough to pick up too many bad habits....it's definitely worth a 'look see'

A Great big thanks to Tracey, Darren, Colin and the rest of the crew (even the dog)
IDarren, I know you struggled with my accent...I forgot to bring my sub-titles🙂:wink_smile:
 
Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Completed NETT course in July. Went for DIY purposes although, I am now considering tiling as a part-time career. As a qualified trainer and NVQ assessor, I found the course to be of the highest standard, the information and quality of instruction were excellent. I searched the internet, reviewed courses and read reviews. I can assure anyone considering this course.....YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

A BIG THANKS...to Darren, Tracey and the team!
 
Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

i went on the course in july just to be able to tile in my own house.After serving 22 yrs in the navy i was there with no real intentions just using some of my resettlement money!The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish!I had very little experience of diy as a whole and was a total novice.I would like to endorse all the good feedback on the course and not repeat previous comments.
I have ended up buying a full set of tools and giving it a go on the big stage.I have used all the advice given and i am in my first week of work doing something i never imagined.I have 2 satisfied customers and money and satisfaction to show for it.I feel that all Darren has taught me has helped me to hit the ground running.
 
Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Any new tilers debaiting which tile course to go on, i would def recomend NETT. There is no doubt Tracey is the real boss but Darren has loads of vital tiling experience, he could probably teach a monkey how to tile, HE REALLY COULD YOU KNOW.
 
Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Hi
Just been on the course last week including the natural stone course.
One of the best courses I have been on every thing you need to know & nothing you don't.
Darren & Tracy are both fantastic down to earth people. The only thing I could say against the course is not enough toilet breaks for the amount of tea Tracy makes 🙂.

Stayed @ the Kingsmere guest house & that was great as well cheers Russ.


PS. Don't go for a kebab

Thanks Darren keep up the good work
 
Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Hi all,

Just completed a four dayer over two weekends and very pleased with what I have come away with.
As many posts have said, Darren, Tracey and Co very down to earth people.
I know this knowledge will prove invaluable as I start out my own business, and put me a few steps ahead of the game. Especially the first 2 days.

Darren - I might yet be the one person who will cause you to regret your aftercare offer!!?
Thanks Darren, Tracey and Colin.

Thanks Craig and Gordon too for allowing me to pick your brains 🙂

It would be good to keep in touch with the lads from each course, see how people are getting on etc?

Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Just back from the course... literally... half an hour ago!! lol...

Done the 5 dayer. What can I say? Fantastic springs to mind!! :wink_smile:

Course is layed out superbly, Darren teaches is it in a way thats easy to take in and absorb.

I now have the knowledge and skills required to go out and do a job in someones home. I have plenty handouts to look through if I get stuck, plus I can e-mail Darren directly if needs be so...happy days!! 🙂

If your thinking about doing any other course your off yir heed...!!

Thanks to Darren, Tracey, Colin and the team for making the course so enjoyable.

P.S. The Sea Crest B&B is superb too, full english was better than ma mums lol...!! :wink_smile:
 
Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Ive just attended the course 4 days ago, Ive done a few tiling jobs in the past but nothing could prepare me for the knowlegde and experience Darren showed us in the course I only did the 4 day course due to time shortage but I will be going back to do the natural stone course after attending the course ive managed to get 3 jobs and get a huge discount from topps tiles all after 4 days from leaving the course, so I would like to say a sincere thank you to both Darren and Tracey for getting me through the course (see you for the stone very soon)
