Here my final thoughts and overall conclusion of the P-ITT floor tiling course that I've attended for the past week. You can leave feedback about this course here PITT Floor Tiling Course Feedback

Firstly I'd like to wish all my fellow students all the best on their new careers and truly hope they succeed and prove to be great professional tilers.

There's a number of things to commend P-ITT on, so here's a quick run down. (note P-ITT were refitting the entrance area at the time, which caused no disruption to the course)

The staff and instructors were all very friendly, supportive, polite and above all professional. The premises were not only kept very clean but also featured an nice dining area with a travertine floor and coffee and buffet area with a slate floor and very clean toilets.

The buffet lunches that were included in the cost of the course were excellent to say the least with most of the course getting 3rd's or 4th's most days. Many thanks to Norma for keeping us all so well fed! Naturally there was unlimited tea & coffee throughout the course and a daily selection of papers and trade magazines.

And even though Trades-Direct is located within the same premises as the training course, there was never a case of 'only buy from us' or 'buy this, buy that'. Of course there are tool packages available but that is left entirely to you to decide to purchase with no pressure.

I'd also like to mention that for a company director Paul Riley is very hands on and always approachable and I think this was of definite benefit to the course members to have such an experienced tiler available to give advice and ideas. It's very apparent from day one that he's very passionate about his courses and from all accounts he's always looking for ways to improve yet further. I have no doubt that if I did find fault with anything the team would listen and improve where necessary.

So I'm sure you can tell from the last few days that I'm happy with the course, its contents and the instructors and their teaching methods and the overall emphasis on British Standards and 'best practices'. As a result I've already booked and paid for P-ITT's plumbing course and as soon as I have a free week I'll be paying for their wall tiling course. I'm also looking to get most of my work colleagues on the courses as I'm sure they would learn buckets just as I did.

From someone who can tile and very well if I'd like to boast, I'll definitely recommend P-ITT's floor tiling course to anyone who's either looking to get into tiling or is already a tiler; remember yearly courses are tax deductible!!

I'd also like to invite all tiling course providers to contact the Tiler Register to get their courses reviewed as all providers are welcome to the same review process.
