Hi all,
I have been looking at trying out an apprentice to see if it saves me a bit of time and helps to speed up the jobs as i am not the fastest of tilers unfortunately.
Sadly, it is proving to be a bit of a battle to find someone.
The only college (which shall remain nameless)in the locality to offer a tiling course have sent me a couple of lads to try out. both have not worked out due to other circumstances. But what is even more disappointing is that the lads told me they learnt precious little from the course!!
Sadly, it sounds like the tutor they had was a total waste of space, spent more time off ill or sat playing on his iphone!! He has now apparently cleared off to aussie to work.
He taught them nothing about priming, different addies, little on marking out and planning and not even how to tile around a window!
Sounds like the few lads who took the course wasted 9 months for nothing in return.
This got me thinking i could do a miles better job than that and wondered what it would take to become a tiling tutor in a college?
Anyway, my search continues! And if anyone should know what you need to be a tutor, let me know!#
cheers.
Just thought i would share this sad
