Hi Giuseppe,
I completed the STC (PTS) 4 week course back in Sepetember 08. Many thanks to Clint and Tony whom are always on the end of the phone if you need any advice.
6 months on and I have made around 16K so far on my own. Tiling is a workout and you have to work for your cash.I am now an approved Topps tile fitter and a proud member of Checkatrade.com.I will be receiveing my NVQ 2 within the next 3 weeks as I have completed the curriculum and evidence and assesments by the assesor. I loved the course and have paid for it 10 fold.Ive met other tilers along the way in my area and some have questioned my ability as it is only a 4 week course but have since worked with the guys and they are all impressed with the formality in which I work.Thanks to Mark,Tony,Clint,Gene,and all at PTS for your training method (very methodical). I just hope my back and knees can keep up with the tiling needs. Love it... Just finished 150m2 of travertine unfilled and travertine brickbond walls with tanking system.I love Bal for Adhesive.Ardex tanking system.Ditra Matting,and Lithofin stain stop.one other thing..Dont leave your tools in your van.Ive just had van turned over all tools gone.My own fault.

Good luck with this mate, let us know how you get on. If you find the time it would be good to give us your opinion/feedback after each week you do, Wivers said he will do your first job for you for free if you do this for us!!

Cheers Mate
