Hi well i am looking to start myself i have work with a tiler as a labourer i no most things apart from setting out and was wonder if it was possible after the two weeks to go out on my own

You can call yourself a tiler with no training at all, that's the problem with the trade, it isn't regulated enough really, and some good tilers on this forum haven't had any training other than following an existing tiler. Which is probably the best way to do it other than college etc.

But if you do a short course to teach you the basics, get to know some suppliers and the tools etc while you're there, you'd have had more training than a lot of "tilers" out there!

We have a college coming on board soon in the midlands if that's any help?

I would like to do the two week course to get more experience and be more confident at tiling obv being a labourer u dont learn much cos metres means money lol

You'll earn more as a labourer than as a tiler for at least 12 months so make sure you can cover your overheads.

hi doug, if youve been labouring for a tiler for some time then thats a start, if your wanting to learn the trade why dont you ask the tiler to teach you ...show him your keen to do more than just labour would that be possible?

Hi i am not working with the tiler anymore he said he was going to teach me along the way but the work dryed up and he had to let me go thats when i started looking into these short courses
