3 Week Tiling Courses from Able Skills
Have you considered that after just 3 weeks of tiling training you could be in employment or self employed to the standard of a professional Tiler.
Able Skills has devised a 3 week training programme that will provide you with 3 certificates including a City & Guilds Unit Accreditation.
Our 3 week course is entirely hands on with excellent support and tuition from your Instructor. Along with Tiling training you will be given advice on quoting for jobs, how to measure up the job (floors/walls) and setting out the quote.
At the time of booking your course you will be sent our Instructional DVD free of charge, to enable you to obtain an excellent insight to the training you are going to receive. This DVD will additionally benefit you once you have completed your training as a form of reference and guidance.
The course will cover health and safety, which tools are required, what tool to use for each job, what they cost, how often they need replacing and general maintenance etc.
We will also cover which adhesives to use for which job (floors/walls), how much they cost and coverage areas etc.
You will be shown how to tile in straight and diagonal layouts, how to set out a job for general floors, kitchen/bathroom walls, toilets, showers and large floors including theory, marking out and cutting around difficult objects.
Additionally we demonstrate how to deal with any difficult areas you may come across like pipes, sockets, angled ceilings, uneven walls, tiling around a toilet system, window, basin, bath, radiators etc.
We also teach you how to complete different aspects of tiling including borders, patterns, diamond and brickwork and we also incorporate the use of different materials including mosaics.
You will be taught the correct procedure to remove and replace damaged existing tiles with new tiles and work on building speed and precision.
Our tiling course also includes training on how to lay electric under-floor heating.
This 3 week tiling course package can be completed in a time frame to suit you. Weekend training is available for the first 2 parts of this course but the City & Guilds aspect will require a full 5 days due to the assessment process. If you choose to cover the entire package on a Monday – Friday basis, you can split the weeks up to fit in with your ongoing commitments.
If you are planning a career long term and are maybe considering a route to NVQ, Able Skills also offers you the opportunity to train for 4 weeks which will incorporate tiling with Natural Stone (slate and marble). We also have longer training packages for 6 weeks or 8 weeks. These longer training plans delve that little bit deeper into tiling and give you the opportunity to look at your technique, gain confidence and build speed. These particular tiling courses cover additional specialist tiling and other tiling related areas so that tiling for a living will come easy to you.
At the end of your 3 weeks of training, we will provide you with a pack offering guidance on starting your own tiling business. This will include advice on business bank accounts, public liability insurance, printing for Business cards, Account forms etc
