DannyOwls Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I have read threads on here before about these 4 day tiling an plastering courses, and there asnt been much Possitive feedback about them. But the job I'm doin at the moment I can't stand and I'm fed up of been treat like rubbish, but my uncles told be if I do one of these 4 day coureses to get a basic insight into tiling he can work me for a few days but nothing guaranteed, so what do I doo? And 300 pound to chuck at 4 days is quite a lot for me at the moment, so really don't no what to do :/ but can't do this job any longer, HELP!

Gojuryuben Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 My mate did one of these plastering courses. He then did afew jobs free or for very little for friends and family to get some practice. This included me and he did a pretty good to be honest. What about going to college and learning a trade ?

BLADE8T1 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Spend your £300 on tiles/basic equipment,and tile your bathroom.Use the internet for knowledge.These course's will teach you nothing that you can't already read about on the internet.But it will take you a lot more han 4 days to be at a good and competent level.

I would prefer to pay a tiler the £300 if they were willing to take me on a few jobs,and show me the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a name for it, let me think a moment - ah yes An Apprenticeship. Where have they gone?. Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
