North East Tiling Training

For anyone looking for a tiling course in Scotland I don't think there are any! For this reason, after much deliberation I chose North East Tiling Training in South Shields because I was impressed with the professionalism of the website, the feedback from previous students and when I phoned for more info Tracy was so informative and friendly she finally convinced me it was the right choice.

I would recommend this course to anyone and cannot believe how much i learned from Darren in just 1 week. I started my first tiling job the day after I returned from the course and have more work lined up in the next few weeks and I haven't even advertised yet or set up my new business venture. Wish I'd done it years ago!

north east tiling

Been meaning to write this thread for a while but never seem to get round to it.

I attended a course a North East Tiling a few months back now and would like to let every one know how impressed i was. Darren and Tracey who run the centre are great people, very easy to get on with and cant do enough to help. Their willingness to help continues after you finish the course, I have e mailed darren a few times to ask questiond since, always getting a quick and informative reply.

The 4 day course i attended was far more informative than i expected. Going into much more detail than i thought it would. Its not just a case of Darren teaching you to slap a few tiles onto a mock up bathroom.
Darren covers all the important matters you need to be aware of before you ever see the inside of the tiling bays; Health and safety, substrates, use of different tools, adhesives, methods for fixing different tiles, setting out, measuring up work, i could go on all day.

You may think its allot to take in a few days but as you make easy notes as you go you can always look back through to jog your memory if you forget anything.

I left confident and raring to go, Business is starting to flow in now i've got my name about a bit In the first 2 months my tools have paidfor themselves and i have enough cash in the bank to splash out on a van, albeit a cheap one.

I would also recomend the natural stone course. A must if you want to earn proper money. My first stone job made me twice as much profit as a ceramic job of the same size would have.

Cheers

North East Tiling Training

Hi there,

Just thought i would give you my feedback on this course which i finished on Friday 2nd Feb.

I chose this course after talking to Tracey (Darrens wife), she sold it to me. I had contacted a couple of others courses, even one closer to home, but first impressions count.

The course has been structured in a way, that as the week goes on, all the pieces to the jigsaw fall into place. Everything from the basic setting out process, what type of adhesives to use, to starting up in business for yourself, if you so wish, was explained in great detail.

Everyone took an abundance of notes, which will be thier own personal bible for them to refer to at anytime. You also have Darrens personal details should you wish to contact him for anymore advice. I've been in touch already and he has replied in a prompt manner.

I also did the Natural Stone Course, which totally opened my mind to the way i'm going to market my business! Do yourself a favour and get on that course, it's well worth attending.

Overall, it was an intense course. Darren pushed you all the way, which i appreciated, as i learnt a lot quicker that way. Considering i hadn't tiled in my life, i would like to think i done well and with more experience, i will provide a quality service for my customers.

Anyway, if anyone is reading this and considering a career change, contact Darren and Tracey and get yourself on the next available course. You will not be disappointed.

Regards,

Colin

North East Tiling

Hello!
I would like to give Darren and Tracey a mention who run North East Tiling. I attended the 4 day course and also the 1 day natural stone course back in August 2006, it was to me a near perfect course, it was well balanced and gave you everything you needed to know in setting up your own business as a tiler. I walked away feeling confident enough to go into someones house and do a professional job. I am so glad I picked this course and not a longer one as I would have got bored and probably been put off starting my own business, which I did 3 weeks after attending (I was an IT manager for the largest dairy company in the UK) I have never looked back, I now have work from a number of kitchen centres, I have secured a contract with a letting agency who has over 1000 houses on its books, I do work for a Fired Earth franchise and the local housing association aswell as my own work, it is a good career change if you are willing to sell yourself and be confident in what you do! This is all down to Darren and Tracey, if you are thinking of attending a course choose this one, you will not be disappointed.

Re: North East tiling Training - Tyne & Wear

I have to agree with all posts on here, course was spot on, the information and training you receive in the 4 days was fantastic. No need to do a similar course over a longer period, it would be a waste of money in my eyes. Thanks Darren / Tracey for an enjoyable but very busy week.

Regards

Re: North East tiling Training - Tyne & Wear

Just finished my training today with Darren, Paul and the lovely Tracey and thought it was well worth the money for 4 days input. Considering I blew £400 in 30secs on tools straight away. I don't think I would have made that decision had the guys not given me enough confidence to make a go at it. Infact even if you don't you could probably eat and drink the course fee in chocolate buscuits n coffee within the 4 days if Tracey had anything to do with it, lol. I don't think I'll be tiling to my quickest ability for a while but these guys really do know the tricks of the trade and have constructed the course in an easy learning, mass input, relaxed and not in the slightest bit threatening way. So us people who havent studied for some time and are wondering how the brain absorbs a lecture takes on data etc. its very well balanced out and the entire experience is very enjoyable.
Cheers Darren, Tracey and the ever helpful Paul!!
