6 Week Wall & Floor Tiling CourseWe use week six as our test week. After perfecting your new skills one of our tutors will set you a complete project where you will have to complete a full room walls & floor in a certain pattern and design. You will have the perfect oppurtunity to practice your quoting skills here as you will have to measure and quote for the exact ammount of tiles and adhesive needed to complete the project. Our trainees really enjoy this week as they get a real feel for what their new career will be like after leaving the centre.It is also a real confidence booster.
7 Week Wall & Floor Tiling CourseWeek seven is do your own design week. You will be given the option of what room you choose to work in and what designs and patterns you choose to do. We feel this encourages trainees to start thinking like a professional tiler and to show them that the possabilities are endless. Past students have created football flags on walls out of tiles others have created compases on walls and floors your imagination really is the limit.
