Default Re: New Tilers - an observation / advice

[quote=Leatherface;3730]Hi

I would like to mention something that I feel is relevant to all you guys who have recently or are about to undertake tiling training. In my local area there has been an influx of newbie tilers leaving their cards at tile shops. Many of these tilers have a logo on their cards ( PTS or something like that )
The comment I hear frequently made by the guys behind the counter & other established tilers is " oh , just another guy who has been on a course who thinks he can tile" This is not my view, just an observation.
In my opinion anyone newly trained would be better off leaving the logo off their cards & giving the impression that they have been tiling for a couple of years. Customers & tile shops could not care less whice course you have been on - Customers just want a good job done. Shops seem to have an inherrent mis-trust of guys who have just come off the Tile Training conveyor belt.
I am not trying to say that they have not received proper training - no doubt they have.
This is just an observation, no offence meant.
