Some good points there Darren. Have you thought about doing a 'six months later' sort of course where delegates could come back for a refresher, check everything they do is up to scratch and then maybe learn some more advanced subjects too?

[quote=steveo;21497]hi. 1st post on the forum so excuse a similar question posed by many before. Has anybody been on an 8 week 'Master Tiling Course' and if so please comment on it. Are 8 week courses in anybody's opinion too long/too expensive or a good introduction and basis for a new career in tiling albeit in Australia early next year when i finally get there!! Currently a shopfitter/joiner but looking to tiling as a new trade downunder.[/quote]Best of luck Stevo

You listened well Steve, was it your commission on the tile and adhesive sales, Like i said running a business is about making money, you price for the tiling job to fix and all the extras you can get out of it.
Glad your doing OK.

thanks for all the advice guys. will get in contact with the centres again and ask a few more questions. both centres' literature states they teach/advise on business start-up etc... and that is sooo important...as long as it's good!! it's never easy choosing the right course/centre but i'm sure which ever i do, i'll have no complaints!!!!!
