Hi fifetiler, have been looking at various courses and NETT is closest to me. Did you arrange your own accomodation ?, what was the total package price ? (if that's not too cheeky to ask).....Cheers

Michael, what part of Central Scotland you from ?

NETT Darren

You will have to arrange your own accomodation there are some listing on the web site, prices arround £22 - £25 per night, all very good clean and close.
There are no set tool packages, you can buy what you like from the tool list provided, full pro package about the £400 mark

For anyone looking for a tiling course in Scotland I don't think there are any! For this reason, after much deliberation I chose North East Tiling Training in South Shields because I was impressed with the professionalism of the website, the feedback from previous students and when I phoned for more info Tracy was so informative and friendly she finally convinced me it was the right choice.

I would recommend this course to anyone and cannot believe how much i learned from Darren in just 1 week. I started my first tiling job the day after I returned from the course and have more work lined up in the next few weeks and I haven't even advertised yet or set up my new business venture. Wish I'd done it years ago!

Been meaning to write this thread for a while but never seem to get round to it.

I attended a course a North East Tiling a few months back now and would like to let every one know how impressed i was. Darren and Tracey who run the centre are great people, very easy to get on with and cant do enough to help. Their willingness to help continues after you finish the course, I have e mailed darren a few times to ask questiond since, always getting a quick and informative reply.

The 4 day course i attended was far more informative than i expected. Going into much more detail than i thought it would. Its not just a case of Darren teaching you to slap a few tiles onto a mock up bathroom.
Darren covers all the important matters you need to be aware of before you ever see the inside of the tiling bays; Health and safety, substrates, use of different tools, adhesives, methods for fixing different tiles, setting out, measuring up work, i could go on all day.

You may think its allot to take in a few days but as you make easy notes as you go you can always look back through to jog your memory if you forget anything.

I left confident and raring to go, Business is starting to flow in now i've got my name about a bit In the first 2 months my tools have paidfor themselves and i have enough cash in the bank to splash out on a van, albeit a cheap one.

I would also recomend the natural stone course. A must if you want to earn proper money. My first stone job made me twice as much profit as a ceramic job of the same size would have.

Hi there,

Just thought i would give you my feedback on this course which i finished on Friday 2nd Feb.

I chose this course after talking to Tracey (Darrens wife), she sold it to me. I had contacted a couple of others courses, even one closer to home, but first impressions count.

The course has been structured in a way, that as the week goes on, all the pieces to the jigsaw fall into place. Everything from the basic setting out process, what type of adhesives to use, to starting up in business for yourself, if you so wish, was explained in great detail.

Everyone took an abundance of notes, which will be thier own personal bible for them to refer to at anytime. You also have Darrens personal details should you wish to contact him for anymore advice. I've been in touch already and he has replied in a prompt manner.

I also did the Natural Stone Course, which totally opened my mind to the way i'm going to market my business! Do yourself a favour and get on that course, it's well worth attending.

Overall, it was an intense course. Darren pushed you all the way, which i appreciated, as i learnt a lot quicker that way. Considering i hadn't tiled in my life, i would like to think i done well and with more experience, i will provide a quality service for my customers.

Anyway, if anyone is reading this and considering a career change, contact Darren and Tracey and get yourself on the next available course. You will not be disappointed.

Regards,

Colin
