Have given feedback on the NETT course thread, but yes, Darren's course has the overwhelmingly positive feedback because it simply couldn't be any better. Business advice, cautions, do's and don'ts from all angles, clear explanations, patient repetition, printed sheet backup, preparation and finishing off, importance of time and efficiency, how to qualify customers first off, how to keep books, how and how not to advertise, dealing with tricky out of synch window recesses, and sockets in the middle of a
tile, tiling and sealing around a bath properly, setting out quickly and acurately, difference between adhesive preparation for floors and walls, perfect siliconing, the list goes on and on - as far as tiling courses go the NETT course got the absolute X-factor. Value for money? You bet! I had done quite a lot of tiling before, taught by my ex who was a city & guilds qualified tiler, painter and decorator and thought I had done ok-ish, now I wish I could go back to the 4 houses and redo the lot, in quarter of the time and ten times better. No more hollow sounds from now on, promise. I do have the absolute confidence now I wanted to combine my artistic mosaics with a befitting tiling job, great.
So all in all not just useful, but great memories, too, one of those life experiences you look back on and smile.
