Re: North East Tiling Training Centre

Cheers Eric , Yea have a look at the other posts about the course Mick, from my experience there were people on the course who had never even used a tape measure before and by the end of the course there was realy no difference in ability between experienced and non experience. And anyway i was doing tiling wrong before i went on the course so really i had no experience either .

Go for it and good luck.

Re: North East Tiling Training Centre

Your right on that one mate.
That's the reason why i will defend what I learnt on this course as much as people may knock it. Darren used to be a teacher in the colleges for tiling, he then went on to be a teaching assesor as well as his 22 years in the trade so the guy obviously has a wealth of experience and is used to training to and with BS. He has removed the non essentials and honed his course to concentrate on the pure knowledge behind the trade.
There were guys on my course who said they had tiled and when asked how they lay out a room they either said start from the middle, start from the floor, start from the bottom or top left corner etc. None of them knew. So as you say as much as they thought they were experienced, they weren't really.

North East Tiling Training

Well I have just returned from Darren and Traceys course in South Shields and can't say enough about the course.

ITS THE DOGS ********!!

Some of the teqniques are nothing short of genius.The instructions were so good that I think I did a feature on my wall in under 25 minutes,I would never ever have thought about attempting to do that let alone know where to start.

If you listen carefully to darren during the course ALL of the information is there.I just hope he doesn't teach too many guys from Fife as I want it all to myself (Darren if you read this I'm Joking NOT)

Im off to price a full bathroom tomorrow and start another job on Monday.I heard myself tell the customer that the job on Monday will be half a day.I can cut around a sink in a couple of minutes thanks to my new found skils whereas previously there would have been much gnashing of teeth and breaking of tiles.

I think other courses will need to go some to beat this one

Keep up the good work Darren
