hi varley, have been considering the tiling course for a few months and have seen your name on the ''plastering'' forum.
just trying to get my head round best direction to go (tiling & plumbing) or( tiling and plastering) or all three!
Is the 1 week enough at North East tiling?
What course are you doing with OLCI distance or in house intensive?
I will actually be coming over from spain for the courses and then coming back here to set up business so i want to make sure i get it right.
thanks

Hi Jim, I was made redundant a couple of years ago and with a family to support I had to fast track every thing. Whilst I was serving my notice I did a four day course at NETT over two weekends. (Varleys sent you a link and is spot on about the 'gaffer' there) After that I did a four week course at VIY in Leeds (VIY Plumbing Training - the UK's premier training centre for domesic plumbing skills) and came away with enough City and Guilds and Water Regs to set myself up. Didn't know at the time which direction my career was going to take but tiling and plumbing go nicely hand in hand. Personally I leave plastering to the experts, you have to be doing it day in day out to be any good at it.
Good Luck
