Chase Tiling Academy? Still going or not?

Question is :

What is the best way to go about this ?

“Make him your Apprentice mate,he goes to College 1 day a week to learn and he works with you the rest of thetime. There are grants available. My College has a woman who makesthe whole process really easy and guides you though the whole process. This isby far the cheapest way of doing it if the person is under 25! It’s notcomplicated as someone will always help and guide you through the wholeprocess.”

Diggy, food for thought, if things go wrong with neighbor then you have to deal with animosity in your doorstep. Have given mates chances, but familiarity breeds contempt...

Well said TJ, your comment about weeding out the chancers is so true. People became so concerned about who and what they spent their money on that those who could not produce the goods were very very slowly weened out. I started tiling about a year before the recession began in 2008 so i had hardly the customer base or the reputation to feed off to keep me busy, to say it was a struggle is an understatement! i was having huge gaps in between jobs and the jobs that i was getting were on such a budget that there weren't much profit in them for me, however every job i did i made sure the work was great and the service too. Slowly over a period of the following 6 years my reputation and contact base base grew and grew. I now don't worry about finding work as it seems to find me and more often than not my quotes are slightly more expensive than my competition too. Unskilled and chancers have a very very limited shelf life in our industry but those that produce the goods and work hard and as you say use their resources could build a nice healthy profitable business.

Cheers mate

Your story is mine exactly! I started struggling down this happy path in Oct 2007.

Or if you're not keen on the apprentice route, there is always the diploma. He may be able to start on the level 2.
