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.

Excellent reviews for Tiling, Plumbing and Kitchen Fitting courses

We’ve had a couple more excellent 5 star reviews left for our tiling, plumbing and kitchen fitting courses completed over the past few weeks. Please see the reviews below:

Daniel Doran has left a 5 star review after completing a few courses at YTA. This year he has completed the 5 day kitchen fitting course, 5 day intensive tiling course and 5 day intensive plumbing course. What is also lovely to hear is he has gone on to complete these jobs in is home saving him a few thousand pounds.

I have now completed the Kitchen fitting 5 day course. Followed by the 5 day tiling and 5 day plumbing course. All I can say is these courses are perfect for any person wanting to acquire great beginner knowledge in these trades. I booked these courses so I could undertake some work on my own property. My new kitchen and new bathroom speaks for itself. Took a little longer to undertake these jobs as I was doing the jobs for the first time and working around my current job, But the money I saved (easily a few thousand £££) more than makes it worth it. Anyone looking to get started in these trades. either for your own DIY work or to even start a career. This is the place to go. The tutors are all really helpful. Even once I finished the course, I still contacted them for more advice and help on ideas. Top quality courses Graham and the tutors provide. more than happy to recommend to everyone.

 

Jeff Farrow completed our 5 day intensive plumbing course and since completing he has already started work and already sent out his first invoice! He goes on to say he will be returning to YTA Training and Assessment for further training in the new year. We look forward to welcoming you back.

Finally decided to get some basic plumbing training after an enforced career change following redundancy in computing. Course was excellent, providing the basics needed to start work as a plumber. Plenty of practical work mixed with some theory and lots of good advice. I have just sent out my first invoice. I plan to do some further training in the new year and will definitely be visiting YTA to do them.

 

If you are considering learning a trade or adding to your existing skills then YTA offer a range of construction courses all taught by experienced ex-tradesmen in a friendly professional environment with small class sizes.

December courses so far are Brickalying, plumbing, tiling and plastering

So far this December we have been teaching bricklaying, plumbing, tiling and plastering. We start again on Monday morning swapping bricklaying for carpentry and joinery. We only have 3 places remaining this year so if you fancy jumping on a last minute course give the centre a call  Monday morning. Below are a selection of photos taken over the past week and a half.

On the bricklaying course you will learn trowel skills and build a half brick wall and a block wall. Advanced bricklaying techniques such as arches and practice on a range of different brickwork bonds such as garden wall bonds are also covered. The plastering course will cover boarding up of walls and ceilings, skimming over existing plaster and also onto plaster board. You wall also plasterboard onto block work wall using board fix ‘dot and dab’ plus backing plaster method. We will also repair holes in walls and learn how to patch repair plasterwork and feather in large areas.

The plumbing course briefly covers plumbing in bathrooms, kitchens and radiators systems as well as fault finding and repair from toilet cisterns to central heating.

The tiling course starts off with you tiling a basic kitchen, then around a window half height with trims to be mitred. Then moving onto tiling a bathrooms shower area above a bath and then tiling a floor with obstacles such as a pedestal to cut tiles around along with a boxing in and doorway architraves.

All our courses are taught by experienced and qualified ex tradesmen with only low students numbers per teacher ratio. YTA is based in Bradford, West Yorkshire and is easily accessible from the M62 motorway.
