Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

I admitt it was a bit intimidating

oh, roll on Dec 1st, my turn then!!:hurray:, glad you said that about it being a bit intimidating at first, I'm really quite nervous already (of being the first ever Dodo on this course!), but then, before my knee packed up , I used to go rock climbing and every time you look up a cliff face you think, oh, ....heck...., and then it's ok, so I just have to trust it... Darren, just so you know, I haven't slept properly for ages because of all this! :lol: Really!

Hi i Was on the nett course back in april 2007 fantastic highly recommended ok there is a lot to take in but if you listen and really take in what is said and write everything down you will be fine. Darren keeps everything simple and easy to understand so that you leave with the confidence in yourself what ever you decide to do.:yes:

:hurray:Just finished my tile training at the best center in the country N.E.T.T. this center is a must if you are looking for a professionally taught stright to the point no messing around tiling course.

Darren has all the knowledge,techniques,and expert skills that he will pass on to all that attend the course.The explenations and demostrations are first class and you are only taught the skills that are important to the job and no time is wasted.The course covers everything you need to know and is intense but is thought in such away that it is very easy to understand.

For anyone serious about tile training then there is only one place to go N.E.T.T. dont forget that they also do a Natural stone course and there web site gives all the information about all the courses that they run.

Thanks again N.E.T.T.

Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

I did the 5 day course in August. Its great, listen to the sales advice. It doesnt matter how good you tile if you cant win the jobs. I have done work from saving a diy disaster to a full bathroom refurb. All my customers have been very happy with my work and I am earning plenty. Thanks to you all at nett and good luck to all the newbies, be positive and go for it.:hurray:

Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Hi all, I've just finished the 8 day course and even before I've done my first job I believe it will be the best investment I've ever made! The first week was fast & furious but the results are excellent. The second week was more laid back with lots of hands on tiling. I also did the 2 day bathroom installation which again was very interesting and learnt at lot from it. I will help a lot and make it easier when tiling bathrooms.
Darren..an inspiration
Paul..a legend (cheers for second week mate, loved it!)
Debs..what can I say? you're a gem!
Thanks to all.

Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Well hello - new smilies and all seasonal, cute!

ANYHOW, the NETT tiling course was BRILLIANT!!! Hard work, intense, speedy, thorough, but loved it and having kind of withdrawal symptoms today! Darren is a brilliant teacher and managed to inspire even the most uninspired, shame he can't afford to put the blooming heating on though!

Seriously though, it's been great, learnt heaps and am now going through the tiling in our house with a brutally critical eye, poking at everyting saying that's s****, technical term forever embedded by 'THE INFLUENCE'...

Learning how to Silicon properly though was the icing on the cake for me, what a gem and could elevate any teacher to near sainthood! Can't wait to start the ensuite shower room after Christmas, a glorious mosaic that will be surrounded by perfect tiling, mitred trims and smooth as glass Silicon, oh yes.....:daisy:

Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

He might look like simon cowell and he might drive hair stylists car but darren delivers an excellent course!
not much you can add that hasn't been said but having done the 4 day course and then the natural stone course (doing the bespoke design course in feb) the info and knowledge he gives is fantastic.
In the the 5 days, everything that is needed was covered. it's all the background info you need and thats what he delivered fantastically and backing it all up with notes so should anything not sink in then the info is there somewhere!

Without doubt he is the best teacher i have ever had and i have had loads at all levels (school, college, university, courses) the way the course is delivered is great and it makes alot more sense now than before i started.
Confidence is the key and thats what he installs.

Thanks to darren, colin, deborah and tracey

Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Just finished the 8 day course at NETT and I thought it was brilliant! Darren certainly knows his stuff and is excellent at teaching the business side of things as well as the actual tiling skills.

The first 4 days are very fast paced as there is a hell of a lot of information to take in. Day 5 is the Natural Stone course and is mostly theory work but it is essential really.

Week 2 (Mon, Tue, Wed) is the advanced course and is much more laid back than week 1 as you are able to work at your own pace. You will be surprised at how fast you actually work though!

The teaching staff at NETT are top notch and Debra & Tracey make cracking brews! I would definately recommend NETT to anyone looking into doing a tiling course.

Thanks to Darren, Colin, Paul, Debra and Tracey.

Re: North East Tiling Training - Tyne and Wear

Did the NETT course in September, what an eye opener, an absolute must for anyone considering a career change or just for the diy'er. From walking in the door and being welcomed by Debbie to leaving on the Friday after the Natural stone course it was the most informative week ive had in my working life. The info that Darren delivered will stay with me for a very, very long time, not just the way he delivered the tiling course but also the buisness side of things. If your considering this course you must listen, listen and listen some more, it comes at you like a run away train, but hang in there it all comes together in the end and if you do, you will be given the confidence, knowhow, and drive to change your way of life, if thats what you want. Before this course I would'nt have had the confidence, let alone the skills to take on the jobs that I have done, but throwing myself into situations and going through the processes learned, both buisness and skill wise, I,m getting there.
The course is delivered in such a way that everything sticks in your mind, maybe not at first, but when you go away and go through the "bible" it will all come back to you.
I would definately consider one of Darren's other courses, i,m pretty sure they will be delivered in the same profesional manner as the one I attended.
Many thanks to Darren, Tracy, Paul, Colin and Debbie and hope to see you in the near future. Keith
