hi just finished the week long intensive course with the yorkshire tiling academy and it was excellent.If your seriously thinking about being a tiler make the academy your first port of call cant praise them enough.There were 6 on the course there was 1 tutor but also 2 other proffesional tilers who owned the place so you really got a lot of 1-1 tution.The tutor was a great laugh but also very serious when he needed to be with regard to health and safety.I was very nervous when i first started but within half hour that all went because they make you feel at ease straight away.Really enjoyed the course and now feel ready to start my new career.if any1 wants any information about my experiences on the course just message me no what its like when choosing a course proper does your head in.Bit of advice if you do go on the course take some cd,s as they only have 1 which is amy winehouse aka s*******d.

I thing I have been robbed
I have done a course at Yorkshire tiling academy and some things on this site tell me that the course is not right, the guys are nice and seem to know what there doing but there are some things that don’t seem right, can any one put my mind at rest
1) PVA every thing before tiling.
2) For the corner tiles put a dot in the centre so you can move the tile to where you want it.
3) take photos off the net and put them in to a book and tell the customers you have done them,
4) Tell the customer and insurance company that you have been tiling for 2 to 3 years

Thanks Mc

I'd absolutely recommend this course to anyone wanting to become a professional tiler - the tutors are brilliant!

As an ex-teacher I know how frustrating it is when someone can't get a point across to students but there's not a whiff of it here, the standard of teaching is superb.

I'm now a professional tiler with clients all over the UK and Western Europe, haven't looked back since I did the course at Bradford.

I live in Northamptonshire and travelled up for the week, staying with friends in Leeds as there's nothing like this near me. A real eye-opening experience - recommended, no regrets at all.
