Hello

[Malenko]

Afternoon chaps,
Another desperate to re-train here.

Been in I.T for 11 years, had enough and want to learn something useful.
My partner has recently setup her own Tile showroom in partnership with her dad. I've been doing the odd bit of work with him over the last few weeks, definately prefer the more manual type of work instead of being sat in an office 9-5 and tiling seems like an obvious choice for me.

Just waiting for a bit of cash to appear in my account then I'll be starting a course (somewhere round Leeds hopefully)

With a bit of luck I'll be back on here posting pics of my first efforts before too long

Hey there and welcome to the forums.

I'm sure we can help you out somewhere. Give our friends a call in the North East... I think that's the closest recommended one we have on our records although as usual I have to say, have a browse through the full uk list here: http://www.tilersforums.com/tiling-courses/2-tiling-courses-tiling-course-companies.html

Do a course and then get some firends and family jobs out of the way, once you've done that you can start charging properly for your time and efforts and you'll have a good portolfio ready to show potential customers.

Good luck whatever happens

Cheers Admin,
I've only just mentioned it but already have a few people wanting me to start so I can do jobs for them and gain valuable experience.

With the girlfriend running her own tile place it's no trouble for me to get some materials and see how it goes.
