Course programme

This course is a Level 1 National Award in Wall Tiling Skills through the awarding body EDI.

Although the Award does say wall tiling, you will still tile a bathroom floor on the course.

Our target is to have you leave this course armed with enough information and confidence to begin your new career and make a success of it, as many of our former students have. Our latest effectiveness poll returned 23 out of 30 students have set up and are enjoying their new careers.

Our courses are unique in that we provide study notes each day so you are in the right frame of mind for the following day's tasks. This will enable us to cover such an extensive amount of knowledge in a short space of time. It doesn't take the place of tutored learning but it is always there as a reference after the course. Please feel free to book a visit and have a look around the centre and chat to students already on the course!!

The course will be conducted as if you were involved in a tiler's working day going through all the stages of conducting everyday projects.

By the end of the 5 Day Level 1 Tiling Course, you will have covered the following:

  • Health and Safety (tool safety and lifting technique)
  • Surface Preparation (Priming, Ply boarding)
  • Correct Adhesives and Grouts for differing situations
