About the course

Our 2-week Tiling course is designed to give basic Tiling skills and information necessary to tackle most situations.

There will be a business start-up seminar covering, how to start your business, advertising and marketing and obtaining work together with your legal responsibilities as self-employed trades person.

The course consists of approximately of 4.5 days wall tiling; 4.5 days floor tiling, half a day of theory and half a day of tool and cutting training.

The course starts on the Monday with an introduction to the training centre, health & safety, good practise & basic rules of tiling.

Then you will be shown the tools of the trade and have their specific uses explained for tiling installations, estimating, measuring, marking & cutting of tiles.

Information is given on how to prepare surfaces, adhesives, grouts, under floor heating and type of tile to use, enabling you to select the appropriate tile & fixing agent.

You will then move on to manual tile cutting techniques, (including nippers) machine tile cutting techniques and how to set out tiles.

You will then start your first tiling task, levelling in a 4 metre square area (preparing a surface to receive tiles). From this you will move on to carrying out a Kitchen installation, using adhesive, tiles and trim. The installation is then fully grouted in over multiple vertical and horizontal surfaces. This should produce a quality installation covering all the basic elements of tiling.

The second week will cover the method for estimating, setting out and laying of a square floor and 45 degree floor installation including measuring, marking and then cutting and completing the installation using adhesives, grout and related products.

The centre opening times are 8.00am to 4.00pm Monday to Friday inclusive.
