Hi monty, when you say elite in prestwich, I guess you mean The Elite school of plastering ?
If so, I went there for my course and while I was there I thought the course was very good, but that was when I knew absolutly nothing what-so-ever about tiling.
After my course I then tiled my bathroom, did an ok job of it, but then I found these forums.
After a few hours reading through dozens of threads I then realised how bad my course at Elite had really been.
Very little was said about adhesives, and what we were told was basically wrong.
They showed us how to measure out \layout a job on a basic wall with a window, but loads of incorrect infomation on how to get around certain problems, mainly how to bodge them instead of working round them propperly.
No business information to speak of, nothing on how to price up, more like charge loads and you'll make a fortune.
From what I've read on here about other peoples courses, mine at elite was quite bad and incorrect, but I did manage to pick out what was useful and learnt 10000% more from the helpful people on these forums.
