Nowt wrong with the courses, in the end its down to the individual and what they do with the info theyve learnt. Theyre a starting block. Needs must.

So am I.
You cant tar everyone with the same brush, which people are so keen to do, its just lazy.
I started tiling from doing a 4 week course, plus a couple of other courses and i aint too bad at this tiling malarky. One of the guys up for this years TTA tiler of the year originally learnt on a course, as did a recent winner. As it happens we all learnt with the same company.

The best of us are. Unfortunately some peeps think they've learnt it all already...

Yes but is it right to charge when you don't have the skill set to do the job of a professional?

My point was that regardless of your experience or capabilities at some point you are doing something for the first time.

I agree and not having a go at your input, just expressing an opinion that you should have gained the relevant experience before you charge for doing something for the first time.
Someone that has the title professional tiler shouldn't be asking what adhesive to use or asking how much to charge for a kitchen splash back. But that as I say is my opinion.
And to elaborate, when I use 'you' it could have been 'one' - it was not a reference to any particular post.
Don't want to upset anyone else.
