Was your course any good....

[OnthelevelPhil]

I have recently just finished the * day full course @ North East Tiling Training in South Shields I think this is the best course I have ever been on, as an ex submariner with no end of world skills under my belt, I think from what I thought I was "a perfectionist" (a competent & attentive tiler ) there is no substitute for being shown "not only the correct way to tile" but the BEST way to tile, :yes:

The way Darren floats the course gets you hooked in and absorbed ' It is perfection as he just passes on best way practices & methods over & over until you can't really believe that you can do such a thing with a tile, & just when you may think you are safe Paul & Colin take over & take you to the next level, & the best advice in my life From Paul is "near enough, is never near enough" EXACT is & stop until you get EXACT Thank you Paul & Colin the lesson is logged & stored & every time I am 1mm out (& I won't be) Paul I will think of you (Thank You for your patience) Daren & Debbie/Tracy _ Great course 100 - out of 10 >>>>> Sorry bit of a Divvy there North East Tiling Training. was the course >>>>> best ever recommended all the stars ... :cheers2:

Just finished 8 day course at NETT,and enjoyed every minute,darren teaches in such a manner that it is not like being leactured but the info he gives(and there is a lot)seems to sink in.
It is not just the tiling,i could feel my confidence growing each day and by the end of it you feel like a tiler can talk the talk,and are armed with that confidence to walk the walk!!
excellant course,and imo great value for money :hurray:

Have given feedback on the NETT course thread, but yes, Darren's course has the overwhelmingly positive feedback because it simply couldn't be any better. Business advice, cautions, do's and don'ts from all angles, clear explanations, patient repetition, printed sheet backup, preparation and finishing off, importance of time and efficiency, how to qualify customers first off, how to keep books, how and how not to advertise, dealing with tricky out of synch window recesses, and sockets in the middle of a tile, tiling and sealing around a bath properly, setting out quickly and acurately, difference between adhesive preparation for floors and walls, perfect siliconing, the list goes on and on - as far as tiling courses go the NETT course got the absolute X-factor. Value for money? You bet! I had done quite a lot of tiling before, taught by my ex who was a city & guilds qualified tiler, painter and decorator and thought I had done ok-ish, now I wish I could go back to the 4 houses and redo the lot, in quarter of the time and ten times better. No more hollow sounds from now on, promise. I do have the absolute confidence now I wanted to combine my artistic mosaics with a befitting tiling job, great.

So all in all not just useful, but great memories, too, one of those life experiences you look back on and smile.

Recently completed the NETT course and would have to agree with Phil, Bob and Mosaic Girl who have left me little to add about the course. Top marks.

There are a lot of courses out there that should be shut down, they take peoples money and give poor advice, should be treated by trading standards really, then theres the poor customers that end up with a poor quality job, Think wisely and do your research well on all courses you are thinking of attending before parting with your hard earned cash

Did my course in Longford,southern ireland.Westlink tiling.Jim the tutor was great,learnt the basics and a little bit more.Learning lots more on this forum though,hard to fit much into 5 days. Mostly hands on learning tricky cuts,setting out etc. Previuos experience in other aspects of construction has helped me alot.

I'm just bumping some of the tiling course & tiling training related threads. Ignore them if they're not current threads for you. They will drop back off the list in a week or so, and I don't do this much.
