I was thinking about doing some tiling training a year or so ago and then shelved the idea, but am now revisiting it.

At the time I did some hunting round and got a brochure from a training centre called Bentley's in Dunstable. They do up to 6 week courses and say that they'll get you to the standard of a professional tiler. Their courses are bloody expensive though so wouldn't mind getting some opinions before giving them a bell.

I notice they're not in the list of training centres on this site (which worries me a little). Has anyone heard anything about them?

My course was only 5 days long and I consider myself a professional tiler,no need to take that long a course,suppose it depends on your confidence level.
I personally think people are better off taking a shorter course then spending the rest of the money tiling everything in your house,try different materials,different patterns.You then have real situations and you've got the money in your property instead of someone elses pocket.
