This is a very detailed course which has the intention of ensuring that your tiling skills and tiling knowledge give you a chance of working professionally within the industry.
How Youll LearnThis course is a mix of theory and practical and whilst the emphasis is on practical skills, there is a great deal of knowledge that you will have to have in order to be sure of getting through the assessments that have been put in place by City and Guilds.
