Anyway just a quick thank you to all the gang at Ableskills as I have just acheived my NVQ level 2 in wall and floor tiling.
It has taken me a little over a year to acheive through portfolio building and site visits but my assessor (Max) signed off my portfolio last week.
I am hoping that my prospects of emigrating have improved now as I am looking to emigrate within the next few years and am hoping that with my new qualifications under my belt this should help the process.
Thanks again.

P.S. Good luck in your new job Max

Cheers Pete and good luck to you and your family.

Try to keep using the forum as much as you can as there are some guys and girls on here that are willing to share an incredible amount of knowledge and it's for free.

Thanks for the message.

I have not used the forum as much as I like recently but been really busy with my new job.

I will try to get back into the swing of things again lol

Hi all,

Just wanted to pop in and say a little about my recent 6 week course at Ableskills in Dartford. I got made redundant at the start of the year and decided to retrain, it was the best thing I did! The 6 weeks went by in a flash (unfortunately). On the first day I was a bit nervous about what to expect, but it was straight down to business with cutting tiles, really hands on from the start. Max and Terry were superb throughout, nothing was ever too much trouble, they were always there to give advice on how to do things correctly, even if it took me 5 attempts to finally understand the method! since completing the course, Max has been great at dispensing advice whenever I have sent him an email, its been invaluable to me really, saves me plenty of brain cells

I would certainly recommend it to anyone if I was asked, it was a great environment to work in, with great tutors, and I was lucky enough to meet some great people on the course. The only downside was Max is an avid Arsenal fan, and I'm a Spurs fan! But I didn't hold it against him, although I cant say the same for him!

Here are some of the photos of mine from the course:
