Hey Everyone!!

Mapei UK Ltd has opened the newly specified Training Centre at its UK headquarters in Halesowen, offering an extensive training facility.


This purpose built facility, which includes individual practical areas, demonstration zone as well as the theory suite with a showcasing area , will offer further practical experience to trainees on Mapei’s Ceramic, Resilient and Building Product training courses.


Mapei’s product training programme includes theory and practical sessions on: Sub-Floor and Wall & Floor Preparation, General Preparation for Tile Types, Weights, Surface, and Backgrounds for both Walls & Floors and Product Classifications.


Throughout the training all products within a range are explored, with particular emphasis on capabilities, usage and system solutions with trainees able to build core competencies by gaining more practical experience of the products and techniques.


Mapei training is all delivered by in house accredited trainers. The new practical demonstration centre is up to the industry standard and available for use for NVQ certified academies to contribute to their students’ product knowledge.


Mapei UK Ltd will officially open the new Training Centre with one day training courses on;

• Thursday 22 July (Resilient, Textile and Wood Flooring Product Training)

Attendees will receive a Product Training Pack and a Mapei goody bag which includes literature and free samples.

“Great day from start to finish. Very informative all round. Good explanation of products and I now have better understanding of the products I already use,” commented Matthew Burt after attending a session.

Unfortunately these things happen, when I work away I always use hotels that have a cancellation up to 12 noon on day of arrival.
I am sure there must have been a genuine reason.

Well im still waiting for that genuine reason !

Have you emailed them ?

Have i e-mailed them? Suzie has all my contact details,she sent me the cancellation at 4.30 yesterday afternoon,it was only by pure luck i picked this up before i left for the hotel,the hotel was booked for thur night.
The hotel has taken the money from my card & i have lost a days money.
She should of put the reason in her last thread.

Then email and ask why ! I was booked for the course and I got the email too. Thats ok with me and I dont really need to know why.
If you dont ask then you dont get.

Wildcard

They will have a good reason so please back off just give them a ring on Monday and im sure Suzie will Explain

There is more to life than a days money be thankfull

Because out of common courtesy i should of been told this in the e-mail.

Please all contact Suzie should you need more information.

HI Wild Card,

Could you email me (because i have your email address but not with your profile name to match it up) please?

Thanks,

Suzie
