what training center would you recommend

[Dale44]

Throughout this site I have read good reviews about N.E.T.T. 2 Weeks of training seems a little short to me. Could someone tell me if training is hands-on or theory based ? I am looking at redundancy in the near future and would like to re-train as a tiler. But like many people at this time am a little worried about spending money on a course which only teaches the job in theory.
I did a one weeks foundation in tiling last year, and did no more than I have already done at home.
I know that a nvq is out of the question for a few years, but I would like to gain a recognized qualification and know that I have already practised the work that I would be taking on, to have the confidence to start tiling in customers homes.
All of the big tiling centre's that are regularly spoken of and reviewed on this site seem to offer really good courses, but how long does it take to train as a competent tiler ?

Hi Dale,

We are able to offer NVQ level 2 on our 6 week course. You will be registered onto the NVQ programme on the first day of your course and throughout the course your tutor will begin compiling your portfolio, so that by the time you complete your course you are ready for your on site assessments.

Hope this helps

Great. Thanks for the reply Danny.
I live in the West Midlands near Birmingham, would on site assessment be a problem ?

Hi Dale,

No mate the on site assessment will not be a problem, we have a large team of assessors traveling all over the UK everyday.

Your assessments can be arranged as soon as you have completed our course.

Our course is mostly practical based, with all relevant theory delivered in our fully equipped classrooms by trained professionals.

We also have business start up professionals in to deliver that side of things so that you leave the centre ready to start trading from day one.
