Default Re: Advice

I get asked all the time if i do longer courses, i choose not to because i think the skills can be taught in a short time, everything after that is repertition, All training centres are faulse enviroments and can only teach you so much, as said above the real learning doesnt start until you get out in the real world, weather you spend a week, 4 weeks, 10 weeks or 2 years a college you will still be craping yourself when you go to do the first few jobs on your own. As long as you learn how to cut shapes correctly , fix tiles correctly and learn all about adhesives and preperation methods, take your time and learn out in the field getting paid. Dont just ask the training centre about tiling ask about the business advice they offer, the tiling skills are no good if you cannot get the jobs in the first place, too many people act like a tradesmen rather than a businessman. The TILER that acts like a businessman as well will make twice the money than the tiler who does'nt. Go back to the centres arround you and ask what advice they give on the business side as well,, make your mind up from there.
