Hi all... I have changed career after 30 years and am starting up as a 'handyman', which will involve bathroom refits and tiling.
I have done lots of personal tiling over the years but never charged anyone for it.....that is a daunting prospect. I want to ensure I provide the best service possible and am thinking of completing a weeks training at UK Protiling - 4 Day Wall & Floor Tiling Course with an additional Natural stone and business day.
Has anyone had any experience of this course?
Does anyone think it's necessary, or am I wasting time and money?

All thoughts greatfully received
Cheers
Andy

A course should teach you the basics but only the basics. You will need practice and more practice and have the right attitude. Your customers will be paying for some of your training while you build up a local reputation. You wont earn much for the first few years until you get your speed up but you'll have a lot of job satisfaction, and a few heartaches, along the way. Never ever tell yourself 'oh that'll do', cos it wont.
