This course is very intensive, there is no messing around, its down to business from the off and the foot doesn't come off the gas until you leave. Yes, its hard work, testing, fun, and the quality of the input is second to none and so you learn a lot ... quickly! I went from having never laid a tile in anger, to by the end of the 9-day course feeling sufficiently proficient to get out there & do it for a living. Even so, I opted for the 13-day course (which I think Darren undersells the importance of), and I'm so glad I did as I was put to the test with numerous further tiling scenarios to solve. All of this I feel has set me up well for my new career. Met some great people too ... Darren is an inspiration & Tracey makes everyone feel at home & the accommodation is great. If you are looking for a serious tiling / business course that will deliver, look no further - book it!
