This could turn out to be an interesting thread to watch.
McTile there is always 2 sides to a story, so lets hear the other side. What interests me is that no one else has said anything bad before tonight and before you think i may know this company or the people involved i dont. I am just eager to hear the other side.

If you go on a course with no knowledge whatsoever of tiling you won't know what's wrong or right until you join a forum of this calibre then error's will be dicovered. (if the above is founded)

Hello everyone, interesting thread….

I’m sorry to hear that you feel you were robbed Mctile.

We are training and have been training for over 18months. We could bring out a published document containing case studies and comments forms as we have plenty. Many of our trainees in the majority are now successful tilers and we also use them when we have installations.

Our training centre and methods have been scrutinised by the CITB and the LCT and both were more than happy with us. We are also about to be fully assessed for accreditation as part of our NVQ 2 training and assessment programme.
So we must be on the right track.

We don’t know who ‘McTile’ is and from the sound of it he came on our course nearly eight months ago, as Steve (aka Tiny) has been involved with training more and more since May 07. That’s a long time to hold a grudge.

A lot has changed in the training arena in the last 12 months and most courses like ourselves are either heading towards or are training and assessing to qualifications.

A certificate of course completion and of topics covered was given and means what it is, application and gaining of experience is down to the student.


We train 5 to 7 student’s week in week out. First bad feedback we have received.

When i say Steve aka Tiny.
It is in regard to steve being employed with us to help with training students and as steve's name is not mentioned it would appear Mctile was on our course at least 8months or more ago as steve (tiny) has been involved with every course since May 07.
It is because Mctile ONLY mentions myself and Jon.

Regards, Graham.

I am not holding a grudge I have tiled my bathroom and my dads bathroom I have now been made redundant and decided I would give the tiling a go as a full time job to get work I joined a bathroom installation company and they told me that pva was wrong and when I came on this site and found out other things I did on the course was wrong I had to post it so no one else throws there money away, I have a tiling manual from YTA when I find it I will copy and post it on the site
