Week long course in Glasgow - Tile Advice

[john white]

Hi guys im currently looking for a 5 day course in Glasgow, after speaking to a few tilers im getting really interested in perusing this type of career. im really hands on and would like to be shown the correct way to actually tile. I've been offered in my current job to be shown but never seem to have enough time to get shown lol

A 5 day course may give you an insight into tiling but in my
opinion that is nowhere near long enough. Some of us served
5-6 year apprenticeships and we are still learning.
It will be a good starting point but don't expect to walk out
after your course and be a tiler. This is a great trade to be in
one of the best, so go do your course and good luck going forward

Level - what’s a level?
When I used to work on the ships it was all done by measurements! Now it’s just a red line.




Welcome and enjoy!

on ships, you do not need the level ....
the sea line exists
that is always level

I was never actually taught tiling as such. I just picked it up. A lot of reading. A lot of watching and above all know your limits. Only take on jobs where you can provide a flawless finish.

Have a look at the forum sponsor Uk pro tiling training ( click on the banner at bottom of page )
