looking for advice

[msec]

Hello everyone,

My first post so here goes,

Having trained as a spark and working for a small property maintenance company, I have recently become self employed. I already have an electrical apprenticeship and have attained part p registration. Added to which I have a small but fair amount of plumbing experience gained whilst in employment. As such I'm really interested in the kitchen and bathroom fitting side of things. I would really love to add tiling to the list of skills I already have. I have seen the website for the DIY school in Stockport and wondered if anyone had any feedback on them? I'd also appreciate any advice on what sort of courses I should be looking at and if it is realistic to gain the skills needed on the 'short' courses. I am only interested in domestic work and as I said, I'm self employed so formal qualifications aren't impotant. However, I'm not a cowboy and won't be attempting anything until fully confident I can do myself justice.

Any advice would be greatly received and appreciated.

Many thanks, msec

Hi,

Checkout Tiling Courses Feedback - tilersforums.com | Tile Forums | Tiling Forum and Tiling Courses - tilersforums.com | Tile Forums | Tiling Forum along with Tiling Courses | Tiling Courses | Wall Tiling Courses | Floor Tiling Course.

Note that it's very wise that you should consider travelling (or staying over) if THE RIGHT TRAINING CENTRE isn't close to you.

Try to speak to a few forum members via Private Messaging them (by clicking on their name in a post) who have left feedback. Note though that the first post in a thread/topic is the oldest, so if it's a well established training centre with feedback, contact the people who left the last few posts of the thread.

Sounds like you'll have a nice business one day, and plenty of customers. Plumbing would be the one after tiling and other than needing labour, I don't think you'd need to rely on other tradesmen, and you could expand and be quite unique in some sense.

Hit me when you're getting big and in the mean time, consider a Mistore - Brochure and Ecommerce Website Design - Sussex, Brighton website and PM (Private Message) me and I'll see if I can help get optimise it for you.
