Anyone can stick a tile to a wall. Getting the last row straight is the trade!
Who do you think most tilers actually work for? Themselves, usually. Around a third of people in construction are self-employed, against roughly one in eight across the economy as a whole. So the trade means your own tools, your own jobs and your own quotes. Our free tiling course covers both halves of that, from preparing a surface to pricing the work before you start.
Layouts, measuring, washboys, laser levels. You will meet the lot, and none of it assumes you have held a trowel before.
Our free training is great because you can study in a way that suits you. For example:
Our tiler training follows a job from empty room to final grout, such as:
Most tiling guides stop at the finished wall. This one carries on to the invoice. An entire module covers estimating materials and preparing a quote, which is the part that decides whether a self-employed tiler makes money or works for nothing.

Read that line again. Yes, you have read it right! Your certificate holds good for life, with nothing to renew. The high-quality version costs just £5 when you finish, and a hardcopy costs a little more.
Homeowners tackling a bathroom get straight value from this. So do landlords and property developers tired of paying somebody else. Some learners are already on the tools in another trade and want to add tiling to what they offer. And anyone comparing a tiler course before committing money can learn how to tile properly here first.
Tiling is learned by hand, so time on real surfaces has to follow this online tiling course. What it gives you is the knowledge behind roles like:
Our free tile course helps you gain the thinking behind a neat finish. You will learn how surfaces are prepared, how patterns are set out, how quantities are calculated and how a quote is put together. As your confidence grows, you will be able to look at a room and know roughly what the job involves before you lift a single tile.
Your first wall is the one you will keep looking at. Enrol in our free tiling course now and make it a good one!
