Fantastic 5 star reviews following recent YTA course

We love reading your YTA training course reviews and these two latest ones are no exception. Thank you.

I’m a female property investor constantly forking out for small plumbing repairs – so wanted to learn to do it myself. It makes financial sense to pay someone to do the work for me. However – because I need to turn up at a property when there is an issue – it makes sense I fix it while I’m there because most times it will be something very simple (but I didn’t know how to fix these issues…. Until now!) I was worried about being the only girl, but felt instantly relaxed. Lyndon was a great teacher and good laugh. On the 5 day intensive plumbing course I learned how to fit pipes using soldering and compression fittings, plumb a full bathroom (fitting the pipes through the entire bathroom, plumbing in all taps, putting the toilet together etc), fit radiators, fit a kitchen sink with plumbing (including T-ing off for a washing machine and an outside tap). I’ve learned a few jobs tradesmen have done for me were nonsense – so now I’m much wiser to what is required (and can do it myself). The biggest surprise was how easy repairing a toilet is. Parts are usually around £10 (£20 max) and they screw in so why waste money having someone come fix it? As soon as I got home I fixed a few issues that had been bugging me for months. I may return to do joinery or learn to fit worktops next. Thanks YTA!

I did the 5 day plumbing course which l believe is beneficial to anyone who wants to improve their skills & knowledge in domestic plumbing. The teachers are brilliant and I’m going back to try some other courses

Our tiling intensive courses give you a quick, but thorough route to a rewarding career

So, you’re sure that you have what it takes to become a tiler, and that you would find it a highly satisfying profession. But you don’t necessarily have that much time to undertake a programme of training, and would ideally like to find tiling intensive courses that enable you to cover a huge amount of ground and be ready for your new tiling career within just a few days.

Well in that case, you may be interested in our five-day intensive wall and floor tiling course here at YTA. Indeed, you don’t need to have any prior experience in tiling at all to enrol on this course. Then, once you’ve completed the course, you’ll be ready to start making a success out of your career.

We don’t merely claim this, by the way – we have the statistics to prove it. We conducted an effectiveness poll recently that showed 23 out of 30 students have set up and are now pursuing careers as self-employed tilers. That’s an astounding rate of success, given the shortness and great value for money of our course.

What’s covered in this course?

The whole point of tiling intensive courses is to drill down to the specifics within a brief space of time, and our own five-day course definitely does that.

Our course is constructed, in fact, so that it feels like a tiler’s working week. So on Monday, for instance, students focus on the health and safety basics and then get to learn how to prepare surfaces. Tuesday is focused on polishing off the previous day’s work and completing a tiled kitchen, while on Wednesday, you will get to grips with marking and cutting tiles around bathroom obstacles like basin pedestals, door architrave profiles and toilet waste pipes.

Looking to Thursday and Friday, you will be able to complete the bathroom tiling process, covering such tasks as drilling holes in tiles, full measuring and quoting, and the preparation, setting out and tiling of a bathroom floor.

Enquire now about the intensive tiling course that could change your life

There aren’t too many things that you can spend just a few hundred pounds on that could have as profoundly positive an impact on your life as our five-day intensive tiling course could have!

It’s worth bearing in mind that the above is just a fraction of the many subjects addressed by the course, with more general topics such as marketing techniques, the process of starting a business, insurance, tax and much more also being addressed.

Click through now to discover more about the full range of key areas that our highly rated five-day intensive tiling course covers. It’s just one of our many tiling intensive courses that run for five or 10 days, so don’t hesitate to browse our broader assortment of programmes or call us on 01274 682199 for more information and guidance.

5 star reviews just keep coming in for YTA

5 star reviews for YTA just keep coming in! We absolutely love reading your reviews following the courses, please keep sending them in to us. Below we have 2 lovely reviews from recent students after completing a few courses with us.

Mark Readymartcher – completed 10 day plumbing course and 5 day kitchen fitting course = 5 star review!

If you are a property developer or looking for a new skill this place is 5 stars. I searched the UK for somewhere that could do courses to help me with my property developing and found YTA. I looked at the reviews on here and FB and took the leap…so glad I did!! I’m 45 and having previously worked in offices and no real experience with plumbing or kitchen fitting both these courses were great! The tutors are all time served professionals, friendly, down to earth and you can tell they really enjoy teaching the trade. The 10 day plumbing course has given my a level of confidence to tackle fitting a bathroom suite, fit and fix radiators and plumb a kitchen. I know how to fix and bend pipes using different methods, understand how a heating system works for both heating and water supply’s, and how waste pipes work all the way to the drains. The 5 day kitchen fitting course was insightful and I feel confident to fit the basic kitchen units correctly. I now know how to use a router correctly and cut worktops to fit using male and female joints, and cut out the cooker and sink areas. You also get advice and tips on how to overcome obstacles. I can’t thank these guys enough and having booked 3 weeks worth of courses I got a free week to choose an additional course. I will be back there very soon

Anonymous – 1 day plumbing course = 5 star review!

Did the 1 day plumbing taster as I’d never done plumbing before and wanted to know how to fix leaks and tackle basic problems around the house without calling and paying for a plumber. The guys at YTA were very friendly and got us working with materials straight away. Lyndon was a great and patient instructor throughout and made sure to tailor the exercises to ensure they were relevant to what I wanted and that I got the most out of my day with them. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to improve their DIY skills.

 

At YTA we are very proud of the hundreds of consistent excellent reviews we receive every month from all our courses. If you are looking for a reputable construction training centre to deliver a variety of trades from plumbing courses to plastering courses then you will not be disappointed with YTA. Why not pop in for a brew and we can show you how we do things and have a chat about a suitable course for yourself!

There is a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Already looking forward to the Kitchen Fitting next week and because I booked 3 weeks of courses I have a 1 week course for free!!. Thank you all at YTA
