Where there is a Bank Holiday, the working day will be extended during that week to allow full content of the course to be completed.

Weekend Tiling Courses
We recognise that many students find it difficult to attend during the week or can't afford to take time off work. The weekend tiling courses run on Saturday and Sunday over two consecutive weekends, saving loss of earnings and disruption to the normal week.
Weekend tiling courses run from 9:30am to 3:30pm. The course cost is £340.
Our courses are designed for no more than eight students to ensure that everyone has individual and equal training experience.
Working clothes and appropriate strong footwear are essential for the course. Tools and materials will be provided for the duration of the course.
