    Default Diamond or specialist trade courses? decisions, decisions

    Hello all,
    I'm hoping to learn to be a tiler. I'm doing lots of research on courses and it seems to have come down to these two providers.
    Ultimately, I'd like to achieve a qualification but I appreciate that this will take hard work, time and effort to do, I certainly don't want a two-week quick course as I refuse to believe that this kind of work can be done well on just two weeks of learning. Eventually when I'm working on jobs, I'd like to build a good reputation for quality workmanship in order to eventually have my own business (it's a long way off I know). I work full-time now so can't give up my day job just yet.

    Any feedback on Diamond or the other one, or any advice in general are much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello mate,

    I did a 4 week course at Diamond around this time last year and only wish I could have stayed on to complete the 6 week course! Can't rate the place highly enough. I recently looked at their website and it looks like they have made further improvements to what was already a quality training centre. Great instruction, loads of training bays and plenty of decent quality tools.

    Good luck.

    Paul

    I'd go with diamond any day. They're pretty much a tiling course specialist and not one of those types of training centre's that do every kind of course going. Loads of brilliant and old genuine feedback on diamond throughout the forum and they always have happy customers.
