HI Before doing this course i was a tower crane operator earning £1,500 a week after tax but doing this tiling course darren showed me that you can earn a lot more than that. Darren and Tracey are great friendly people and are happy to help you even after the course if your stuck on a job. Its a very intense full hands on course none stop but darren will get you laying a entire kitchen,bathroom,floor even if you have never laid a tile ever or even worked in the construction industry. I think darren trains you up to a NVQ level 3 standard showing you tricks to get the job done quicker and how to set up & run your own business which i'm almost nearly set up a month after finishing myself just buying van now. You can buy a bulk of tiling tools from darren & tracey for £500 and the rest of the power tools you will have to get from screwfix or where ever about another £350 of tools. It sounds like a lot of money but what you will/can earn after the course you can earn that cash back in a month landing on the right jobs and believe me when i tell you there is lots of work available. I'm getting 50+ jobs emailed to me a day for jobs all over the country off several different job search sites. 1 of the lads on the course made a business name before he had laid a tile and in 24 hrs got 4 jobs by the end of the week he had a few more doing is 1st tiling job on the 1st week end of the 2 week course and got many more jobs by the end of the 2 weeks. If your going to do a tiling course i highly recommend you go to UK PRO TILING if you have the money and van you will definitely get work or set up yr own business straight away.
