Default Able Skills - Tiling Course Feedback

For anyone thinking of doing a course with able skills.....

if you are thinking about doing the six week ica course with able skills which i did, think very carefully and consider doing the six weeks of practical and gaining the ica at a later date.

with the ica there is alot of paper work to cram into 6 weeks ie:- alot of time spent in the classroom.

Plus you also have to cover modules which involve

plastering

rendering

screeding

how to build a tower scaffold ????? lol

heath and safety

and probably a few more which i cant remember lol. like i said this cuts down the amount of practical you do in 6 weeks.

Also there is alot of late nights doing modules that have to be comleted within a certain time period.

Like i said if your wanting to learn more tiling then the 6 week course maybe better 4 you.

Right able skills its self is very well run but i must say make sure if you dont know something that you keep asking until your happy and know what your doing, as i felt we were left pretty much to do what we liked.

having said that the staff are friendly but if you have to stay in there digs they are a bit grotty but u only pay £20 a night so cant expect the ritz.

i hope this helps anyone out that might be thinking of doing a course

Default able skills tiling course feed back,

I have not long come back from a stright six weeks tiling course with able skills and on a hole i can say that i was very happy with it.

The accomodation was good and the for the last week i was moved to there new accomodation that was even better, lets face it for £20 a night it would have to be very bad for me to complane, it was cleaned alot from what i saw.

The instructors max and terry were very good at what they did, both had a different style of instructing and it was a very relaxed learning inviroment with a bit of taking the mic thrown in, thanks guys you were grate

As for the course i thought it was good, however at times i did feel that the student to instructor ratio was a bit to hi, if in a class room fine, but when doing practical it somtimes felt like you were pulling the instructors left and right,
but the instructors did not mind.

On a hole then i thought the course was very good, if some one is thinking of going on a tiling course at able skills then i do recomend them.
