Default Re: Tiling Courses

to be honest, you can learn more on here than a course. maybe i should throw dan £1000 for all the stuff ive learned on this forum thanks to his endevour.
i reckon a weeks course is fine if it cuts to the chase. too many of these 4-6 week courses are stretched out for a number of reasons but i dont think for 1 minute they actually care about you. they say they like to teach but if that was the case then they would teach at college like most people who love to teach do...
its all about money and maybe a 5 day course is the way to go. you wont learn the whiole trade obviously but then again you wont over 6 weeks so maybe its better to do a week to learn setting out, cutting shapes and grouting then go away an expand that knowledge over time and when you need a specific question answering then we can come on here. i reckon it would take 2 years to become proficient at tiling if you include 6 months to begin, 6 months domestic, 6 months on a site and 6 months doing swimming pools , restoration, wet rooms etc
just my opinion but why waste £2-3K on a course an skim across all aspects when that money could pay for tools, advertising, 1 week course, t-shirts, cards and a few bob in the hand of a tiler for the odd mornings lecture.
dan should be knighted for making this form, arise sir daniel......
