Are you looking to learn tiling and gain the confidence to take on real projects? Our 9-day intensive tiling course is designed to give you both the hands-on skills and theoretical knowledge you need to tile walls and floors like a professional.
Throughout the course, you’ll work on real-world tasks that prepare you for kitchens, bathrooms, and more. Below, you’ll find an overview of what you’ll learn during your training.
Learning tiling isn’t just about theory — it’s about practice. On our course, you’ll spend plenty of time fixing, cutting, and grouting tiles across larger areas so that you leave not just with knowledge, but with real confidence.
We focus on the techniques you’ll actually use on jobs, from setting out walls and floors to working around tricky areas like windows, pipes, and corners. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to tackle tiling projects on your own or even start offering tiling services professionally.
During the course, you’ll complete a wide variety of practical tiling exercises designed to reflect real-world challenges.
