New career - female tiler, manchester

[jooper]

Hi everyone,

Great site. I'm about to emabark on a new career as a tiler following much thought.....

I'd really appreciate any advice on the best course around the north west, I was initially going to take the 4 day course at the diy school in Stockport but now I've heard of a few more options and think that a longer course would be more appropriate me being a complete novice.

Also, how much work is out there with the economic climate being as it is, I realise in one sense it's not a great time to start something new but then things will pick up again at some point.

Thanks again in advance for any thoughts....

Hello and welcome...

If you take a look at our tiling courses feedback forum Tiling Courses Feedback - tilersforums.com | Tile Forums | Tiling Forum then it might just give you an idea what might suit you best..

When you do choose your place to train then make sure you go visit them and do it with notifying them ...then you see what the place is like and speak to other trainiees and ask what they think and is it worth the money.

As for the climate at present...well it's up and down really and some area's are worse than others...so worth thinking about as well.

good luck.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for reply..
I've had a look through the thread you suggest but can't find anything recent for the 2 places I'm considering ie. diy school in Stockport & what was PTS in Warrington so hoping someone on here may have been there recently and could share their thoughts.....

Anybody??

Hi and welcome to the forum. I can't top Dave's advice there. Have a good read about all the courses on here and take it from there.

All the best.

If there is no feedback then i can't comment on that...we just let members give feedback on thier courses , so we mustn't get many from the ones you need ...but there is plenty on others around the uk..

But like i said just go visit the ones you want and see whats what..

Hi and :welcome: to the forum jooper. I did my coarse at PTS in warrington, and thought it was very good, it was the for week one. They do teach you a lot, but only the basics just to get up and running,the rest you pick up over the next few years, and by using this forum as often as you need,everyone on here is so helpful
