Class attendees can learn enough through our practical and theory courses to give them the know how and confidence to work within the lucrative tiling industry.

We currently offer a 2 day weekend DIY tiling course and a more
advanced 5 week day intensive course.

Due to demand, we are now offering a 4 day intensive tiling course
split over two consecutive weekends, the course layout is very similar to
