Just got back from doing the nine day course with Darren at UK pro tiling. As a multi-skilled tradesman with over 20 years experience I've done my fair share of tiling and thought I knew what I was doing. Boy was I wrong! I decided to do the course for three reasons. Firstly, although I could stick tiles on a wall or a floor, I knew I could be better and faster. Secondly I enjoy tiling and decided I wanted to focus just on that instead of freezing my backside off fixing a roof in the middle of winter and lastly I wasn't very good at marketing and so work was always up and down. After spending nine days with Darren I have come home fired up and confident that by applying what he teaches my new business (East Kent Quality Tiling) will be a success. So, if you are looking for a career change as a tiler then this is the ONLY course worth spending your money on. I had looked around at a lot of tiling course centres but kept coming back to UK Pro. And I wish I had done it sooner. If you are considering going to any other course my advice would be take your money and chuck it in the bin and save yourself a wasted trip. Knowing what I know now If Darren's course had been double the money I would have paid it. Yes it's very intense, yes you have a lot of information thrown at you and yes you will be knackered every day but it is totally worth it. Not only is Darren an excellent tiler and teacher he is also very inspirational. Just being around him gives you a buzz. Also he's not in it for the money because he could retire if he wanted but he does it because he's passionate about tiling and helping people succeed. And finally a mention for the lovely Tracey who helps you with booking, accommodation etc. You'd struggle to find a more warm, genuine and helpful person. When you've finished the course she gives every attendee a handwritten sorry you're leaving card. That is really caring. And they both do. So don't be a mug....book now!
