Got to agree with most of the posts here,how can you possibley learn how to tile in a week or even six weeks the answer is you cant,i have been tiling now for forty years and am still learning,bal will only brain wash you into using there products only ,i have seen it happen with topps tiles staff that have beeno on the courses and then tell folk there is only one adhesive to be used,and as for the training courses imo dont waste your money ,you can only learn the very basics of tiling.I know times are tough out there at the moment but if you want to learn about tiling ask to help someone who is a time served tiler,tiling is not only about sticking a couple of courses over a bath or work top and when people start to realize it is a trade to be learnt only then will we all get more work and be proud of our proffesion but as it is at the moment everyone thinks they can tile and people are being taken for a ride by people who havent got a clue and woldnt know the difference between a trowel and a spade... rant over:incazzato:
