5 Day Intensive Tiling
Our 5 day intensive tiling course is recommended for anyone wanting a
complete change in career that has no previous experience in the trade, or
for those tradesmen looking to develop more skills within the trade.
We
run a friendly team here at the Tile Training Centre and students soon
feel welcome and at ease with the professionalism and atmosphere of our
courses.
We run class sizes of up to 15 students to ensure we can
'fast track' you into the tiling trade. We have purpose built FULL size
kitchen and bathroom bays so you can experience tiling a customers full
spec job.
Each student works in their own bay with their own tools
ensuring you develop skills at your own pace.
Each bay has various
obstructions that you would be confronted with in the trade such as
radiator pipes, water supply pipes and an offset boxing in.
