Able Skills Weekend DIY Tiling

Able Skills has structured week end courses to suit the needs of every person looking for DIY skills.

These DIY courses are aimed at those of you who have odd jobs around the house which need attention. The DIY courses we offer will provide you with the training you require to make those essential repairs, as well as advising you on health and safety and all tools and materials required to complete the job to a high standard and safely.

Whether you are looking to tile your kitchen, fit a bathroom suite or need to do some plastering, Able Skills can accommodate your every need.

All of the training we provide can cover all of your DIY needs, saving you time and money and allowing you to develop new skills along the way.

DIY can be dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing and can be costly if you employ the wrong handy man. We want to encourage DIY enthusiasts to get it right first time and to help you achieve your aims; we have devised courses to suit every DIY requirement.

We have re-structured our weekend courses to cater for just about any DIY need, we now provide you with the opportunity to design your own course by mixing subjects and covering them in a 2 day weekend. You can attend for just one weekend if you only need to learn one subject or many more if you have a larger project to cover.

Weekend training can be covered at any time throughout the year and you can choose when you train.

Additionally, if you are undecided about which area of construction you wish to enter, you can use our short weekend courses to help you decide.

Able Skills has recruited the best staff in all areas of construction, people with years of experience in their specific trade. In addition to this, each member of staff has gained the required qualifications to allow them to teach, assess and internally verify our qualification courses. These same instructors are available to you for the weekend courses, guaranteeing you a very high standard of tuition.
