Able skills victorian and mosaic tiling courses, worth doing?

Hi guys,

Looking at getting into doing some geometric/Victorian floor tiling but would like to go on a course and see some done first hand before I tackled one myself. Have seen that Able skills offer a 5 day course for this skill set and wondered if any of you had any feedback or experience of this? Cost is about £700 which seemed reasonable if the course is good or is there a better way for me to go about learning the art?

Cheers

I'm wrong?

Just out of interest , what could I have done to not have bottom left debacle? Just not have a border? Really bugging me!!

1. Brought the right hand in to match.
2. Use a smaller 96mm tile inside and add to the border.
3. Run the left side straight into the brick pillar.
4. Don't change the chequerboard design on the top step.
5. Keep the same size border at the gate front.
6. Tell your wife who is the boss!

Just a few options

1. Never tell a tiler how to do a job.
2. I don't get paid to advise.
3. This tiling game is easy.
4. Always talk in Geordie so foreigners can't understand.
