Couldn't tell you if they are still in business, they appear to be from the website. They have a centre in Harlow Essex as well. They did used to be called PTS (professional training solutions) and had a name change a few years ago, not sure what the reason for that was.

Their place in Warrington closed, Harlow centre is still going.
There is another company called PTS that is to do with plumbing and agreed that PTS(tiling) could keep the initials as long as they had nothing to do with plumbing. PTS started other courses, including plumbing, and that was one of the reasons why they changed their name.

Hi Grant, and welcome to TF, I would not bother with the 4 week courses if I were you they are a waste of time, they will give you the very basics of the art that is real tiling.

I would suggest you contact a TF member, user name Deano, he will put you right, he has been a college lecturer, and writes the criteria for C&G papers.

Tiling is a very highly skilled trade when done correctly, sticking a few tiles on a cubicle is a million miles away from being a tiler.

Good luck with it though.

cheers Phil for that i will contact him now

i suppose everyone is different but i think with my engineer background i think i have got a decent chance of grasping it

you did a few week course and that was all?

I don't think you did a course in Warrington did you Sharon? I will stick to my post, a 4 week course will never make a tiler, never in this world of God. I would love to see some of these course people on a real tiling job. Not just bathroom bashing or a bit of bespoke work, but all round tiling, power vibro floors, twin tiles, floated coat, acid resistant, real geometrics, restoration, swimming pools. I could go on forever, but I won;t. Suffice to say there are "tilers, and there are tilers":smilewinkgrin:
