IvegotsTILE

That course does sound very good and covers everything,I did a weeks course at NETT and am now doing very well and my customer feedback is excellent.
Its very true the more you do the more confident,better and quicker you'll be but why spend a fortune practising in a teaching enviroment when you could be tiling your own house top to toe,thats what I did then I did nearly all my mums aswell and I bet it cost alot less than doing an 8 week course.I personally could not afford to pay out all that while not earning anything for 2 months.
I suppose its each to there own the course you mentioned does sound very good,but I think it just depends on your confidence levels.
