DIY & Home Improvement Tiling Training Course

This 5-day course has been specifically designed for you if you are a complete beginner. We will teach you the practical skills required to tile effectively if you have a project in mind or need to be updated on the latest tiling and adhesive technologies, just let us know and we will tailor the course just for you. This course is designed for anyone who would like to learn the skills required to fit new tiles. It is structured for anyone who would like the skills to undertake basic tiling in a bathroom or a kitchen, for instance, as a DIY job in the home or even as a foundation course for those who are considering becoming a professional tiler and may consider further training at a later date.

This course is open to anyone. It is designed for adults who want to undertake small jobs around their home, but do not have the knowledge, experience or confidence to carry this out. You will however, be able to make the home improvements that you didn’t think you could before attending this course.

There is also a 2-week Tiling Course which covers Tiling in much greater depth and includes more advanced techniques. The tutors delivering this course will share with you their knowledge from many years experience so you can learn the necessary skills to take on these jobs safely and correctly and to the right standard. All candidates will receive a certificate to confirm their attendance upon completion of the course. It is also an option for individuals to sit an examination covering the aspects they have covered on the course, even though this course is non-accredited. This can be provided for delegates as an optional examination that can help those students who intend to progress onto other courses.
