Hi all,

I have just joined the tilers forum as I am thinking of starting a new career as a tiler (obviously).

I live in the Surrey area (30 mins from Heathrow) so if anyone can recommend a good training centre around this area that would be great.

I nearest training centre I can see is Trade Skills at Gatwick. Do you know of any others? Do you have any feedback about Trade Skills?

Thanks for your help
Paul

Hi Paul
i no you live near the Gatwick area, but i STRONGLEY ADVISE that you try out the NORTH EAST TILING, based in South Shields, its a absoulte fantastic course and is very professionaly ran by Darren & Tracey and his staff. Whilst i did my course He had 2 people from 16, 1 from Austraila and 1 from Solvenia and the rest from all the UK and he's had many other people from and other Eurpoean countries who basically come all this way just to do the tiling course. give Darren a ring or check his website out.

YOU WONT REGRET IT

regards

Paul

Thanks for the recomendation, but Newcastle is a bit far to travel for a tiling course.

did you find a course im in the same boat?

No the only courses I can find in our area are in Gatwick and Arundel.

Hi,
We offer a free 1 day taster course which is very detailed, its a good way of gaining an insight into the trade and also gives you time to not only chat to us but also chat to the important people which are the students currently in training. We do not hold seperate courses for our 1 day tasters you actually join a new class right at the start of their training so you learn excatly what they are learning.

If you need any further help or are interested then feel free to contact me either by posting here, pm me or call the centre

i dont mind going up there for a week..never been before

I think most decent courses are 4 - 6 weeks. Dont think you will get enough training in 1 week.

Thanks for your message Kenny. Your course is one of the one's I am looking at. I am looking to start the course in October/November so will contact you nearer the time. Thanks again. Paul
