I too did a course at BAL about that time. Though it was when they stopped paying for the hotel. But as I lived around the corner at the time I just popped in.

Did you miss a few days Mike?, can't really fathom that out otherwise as we actually do rendering so we cover all these elements during this session, plus socketed areas?

I travelled from Dublin to Crawley to do the Tradeskills4U course. Thought it was a very good course at the time. Have since realised that we were only thought the basics. But saying that, am really happy that I did it. The instructor was really good and the guys I met on the course were great! Have learned a hell of a lot more from this forum.

My course was NETT, actually sat next to ivegotsTile. Course was very good, had some skills previous to course, but Darren added loads more and gave me a lot of confidence. Own business been running now for 8 months and just getting busier and busier. You do learn a lot after the course on the job, but for using correct adhesive etc, planning, and some business tips Darren is the man.

I did hear the reason for stopping the free accommodation was that a few where treating it as a free holiday with absolutely no interest in tiling, Allegedly. The hotel was very good quality.

I did my course at Able Skills, very thorough and very hands on.

It also suited me as they do courses based over weekends.

I went on a 3 week tiling course at uktilingcourses wow what a great time we all had.Learnt so much about tiling ,enough to make me want to set up business and get straight out there.We learnt all aspects of the trade.Also we had such a laugh as well.In my honest opinion i think you learn more when you are having fun as it takes the school room appeal off it and you relax far more and take more in.The only gripe about this course was the last day when we all parted.We were like a band of brothers.Great lunch and if peter (the boss) gets to air the moths from his wallet ,he will get ya a pint.
All in all money well spent and a joy to learn the trade.great course well done uktilingcourses.

i've just finished at NETT and although i didn't know what to expect i found it to be much more than i'd hoped for and i feel it was very very much well worth the money spent!!

Just finished my course at NETT approximately 2 weeks ago and honestly it was amazing. Having never laid a tile in my life i truly did not know what to expect,however Darren and the rest of the course staff were awesome,good money well spent.
