Hello all,
It's me again. I'll make a decision one day and go ahead with this tiling thing but the more I dig the more questions I get popping up in my mind. Any way, here's my latest one.
After recieving lots of great advice and encouragement from my previous posts, I picked up on one particular "nugget" of advice. I can't remember who gave this "nugget" so apologies in advance for not mentioning you. I was looking for the best way to learn and wether I should pimp myselt out to a tiler for free in order to learn, and somebody suggested checking out local tech colleges. Well I've done just that and guess what? They do 2 courses in tiling! It's at The Manchester College of Building (who'd 'o' thowt it, a building gollege doing tiling courses! doh!). They do a 1 year full time course that gives an NVQ level 2 at the end but I can't attend this cos I've got to be earning money and I think it's aimed at young folk. They also do a wall and floor tiling course over 10 weeks, one 3hr session a week in the evening and this is open to anybody. This is aimed at people like me that have a certain amount of experience in things DIY-ish/Builder-ish that can pick stuff up quicker than a prepubescent spotty hoody that's only there cos his Dad has made him go. Have any of you done a course similar to this in a proper college or indeed, done the Manchester one. What was the course like and would you recommend it?:book:
