is the tiling industry becoming saturated?

You can't learn anything on a short course, ( you may manage a kitchen ) these centres are killing our trade , they should be raided by the fraud squad.

even if your correct

red card

i actually learned as much as i could on my short course,guys who are genuinly willing to work hard at changing career and have the skills to develop as tilers over a period of time will infact be good news for the trade,fair play to anyone whos willing to bin a career,,re train and risk a lot of security to go and follow what they want out life,no one should be shot down for trying to better themselves.i agree though definately out all the people coming through training centres no way will they all be tilers so although there may be a large amount being trained i doubt very much if they are saturating the market.

the ones who dont make it as a tiler could always start there own tiling school
now there an idea

 

[kilty55]

heehee i like the subtle digs popping up about tiling schools,might make good reading that one of the reasons i decided to do my course was after using a fully qualified tiler to do my bathroom,not a terrible job but lets just say a bit of a half hearted effort and was charged an extremely large amount of money for it as well.just because someone is qualified and has more knowledge doesnt neccesarily mean they apply it on the job.

every one has to start somewhere why ban courses that are giving good advice and training you may lose one job to a new bloke because he has under cut you but you can bet your bottom dollar he wont do it twice once he has realised just how hard your money is earned in the tiling trade we need a tougher period to get rid of some of the dead wood in the industry if its any comfort from what i am seeing alot of the polish guys are returning home due to unfavourable exchange rates and better job prospects at home

Is there that much of a differece between tilers form other countrys flooding the market and 2 week coursers flooding the market??

They are both doing the exact same thing in my opinion. :ninja:

If you want to make up to £45,000 grand a year as a wall and floor tiler like the advert says in the national press it is quite simple just start a tiling course company.

Then if you want to make even more money you can start an electricians course company and so on and so on it could turn out to be quite lucrative no doubt.
