Hi everyone, My name is Dave Ames and I have just set up my business in Hailsham, East Sussex.
Although I had much self taught experience in tiling and wanted a career change into the business, I felt it was right to be trained professionally before I was out "on the road"!
I booked onto a four week course with the Alpine Training Centre in Rye, East Sussex and have not loooked back since. The course, run by Gary Sheffield was nothing short of excellent and I cannot recommend his company enough.
The course subject matter was presented and introduced in just the right way with every day being a challenge. Gary has just the right knack of giving bollockings when deserved and credit where it is due and motivates his students to keep striving to improve.
That being said, when a student on my course was doubting his own ability and went home on a Friday night not sure about his future in the industry, he was most suprised to receive a call from Gary on Saturday afternoon to check that he wasnt moping around worrying and was looking forward to making a fresh start on the Monday morning! That shows care on the part of the Training Centre and the tiler concerned is now out in the field with a blossoming order book of work!
Thanks Gary & the Team for everthing!
Anyone else got good or bad comments to make on Training Courses?
