The quality and nature of the course and how it was constructed i thought was first class Mandy thanks

I really enjoyed the wall and floor tiling course, the skills I learned during the course have been a great help to me. All the staff have been really helpful and friendly, inpaticular Dave who spent a lot of time coaching and tutoring me throughout the course. I would recommend Chase Tiling to anybody and look forward to doing  another course with them next year.

A fantastic wealth of experience having never tiled before I can know do a variety of tiling tasks

I have found this course superb!

I chose this the city and guilds full 6217-01 as I heard good feedback and great choice of courses, I felt the office staff were full of knowledge, which added to choosing the centre. I visited the centre before I decided and liked the look of the centre as it was well set up.

The course was exceptional and the training centre was spot on - a home from homwe

The office staff was brilliant from start, Margaret Sonia Dave and PHil were always at hand with a wealth of knowledge and advice.

The extra mile Dave and Phil go to teach you not just about tiling but other aspects like starting a business, materials and supplies everything was exceptional. The coffee machine is a geniuos idea.

From booking the course, to my very last day everyone at chase tiling have been exeptional at looking after my needs, great course, great place to train, great people!

Good Practical course which really covers the basics

Excellent tuition, great advise at a level suited to your needs.

I found everyone very friendly and at ease. Thank you!

Glyn is an excellent tutor he made the steep learning curve very interesting and enjoyable. Thanks to all at chase tiling academy.

Extremely down to earth trainers and very good at getting the methods and practice over. Would definately recommend to others wherever you live. If you are thinking of a career change forget the rest Chase Tiling Academy Limited are the best!!!!

Chase Tiling is an excellent training centre and the course is covered thoroughly. instructors proffessional approach makes things easy to understand and do. and the instructors are readily available to answer any questions. Well worth the travel from London to do the course. Highly recommended.

Learnt alot from this course that I thought  i wouldnt. I got on well with the staff and we have had alot of laughs. I will miss all the fun we have had.

I have found training at this centre enjoyable and it has given me the confidence to be able to go out and tile for others. Phil and Dave are very knowledgable and are always willing to share their ideas. Thanks for much guys we will miss coming.  

Excellent from enrolement onto course to last day! Would recomend anybody to attend. Many thanks to Margaret, Sonia, Phil, Dave and Mark for all your help and advice.

Not long Finished a Tiling and Plumbing course and my water regs for plumbing at Chase Tiling Academy in Cannock, both courses were excellent and informative. I have just been made redundant after 22 years in printing and decided to have a go at working for myself.  although I had done both tiling and plumbing both for myself friends and family before, and was reasonably competent Chase tile Academy gave me both the extra skills and confidence and speed required to work for myself. the course not only offered good basic grounding and advice, the course also provided a little bit of bookkeeping advice and estimating which gives further confidence and valuable advice for starting up on your own I also achieved my  NOCN tiling and plumbing qualifications and water regs certificate. Since finishing the course I have done a couple of jobs and am about to start a floor job with undertile heating which I am confident about doing thanks to Chase and my jobs so far have given me good feedback which is a credit to chase' excellent training.
My Thanks to all the Chase team Phil, Dave, Glynn, Margaret and Sonia for creating a relaxed friendly atmosphere in which to learn a training centre which I would definitely recommend.

Got in from a hard day graft last week to find my NVQ Level 2 certificate had been posted. I did an ICA course with Chase back in January then went straight on to do my nvq the whole process took about 5 months from start to finish an I am now a fully qualified Wall and Floor Tiler. 

Big thank you to everyone at Chase tiling

I trained at Chase a while back, great course, 4 weeks of great learning fun!!! Phil is a great laugh!! Phil do you remember the icing sugar and no nails??? Ask him about it and watch him smile!! Thanks to Margaret and Phil top people I will always recommend them.

Hi everyone,

I did my tiling course here some time ago. I did the 4 week course and it covers everything from operating the Rubi cutter to creating wall and floor images with tiles, to area preparation to what adhesives and grouts to use. Just thinking about the work I have had since, everything I learnt I have used to tackle the most complicated jobs with ease.

Hi Margaret and Phil,

Marg, Phil and Ant,

I was on the 4 week course, at chase tiling academy a while back. Phil is a superb instructor, with many years experience tiling behind him. If you are thinking of learning tiling then I can highly recommend doing your training there. You will learn all you need to know to be a tiler & more besides. Phil & Margaret make you feel very welcome from the start, the atmosphere is very relaxed & friendly.

The facilities & tools are first rate, parking right outside the door, & if you don't fancy sandwiches, there is a cafe up the corridor. While I was on the course, you would often see past students popping in for a cuppa, & a chat with Phil & Margaret. If you are doing a job and unsure about something, you can ring Phil for advice, and he will put you right. If you're thinking about tiling, arrange a visit, look around, have a chat & ask the students what they think.

To Phil & Margaret, a big thank you.

I recently finished the 2 week course with Chase Tiling Acadeamy Ltd, previous to this i hadnt ever tried tiling or any manual work for that matter, as i was in sales. but within the two weeks it taught me the necessary skills to get started.

Obviously with any training course it is much different to when you go out and Tile for your customers in the real world but still gave me the ability & confidence to get started on my business.

I have been self employed now for about a month, i have been getting most of my work through a bathroom installer friend i have, i have came across obstacles with every job i have had, but have always got around them with the skills i have been taught, I'm still learning all the time.

 To anyone thinking of a career change, Chase is an excellent choice, good facilities, good tuition, five stars from me.

Hi just completed a two week course at Chase and would recommend it to anyone thinking of tiling. Phil and Ant the two instructors are top notch and def know their stuff. The course was very hands on from the start and by the end of the first day I had tiled my first wall. After two weeks I feel I have gained confidence to go out and do a bit myself.

Hi Margaret, Philip and Anthony,

I have just completed a four week course at cta

Having packed in a management job for a new challenge i was naturally worried especially having never done any tiling before but from day 1 phil, ant and margaret were superb and immediately gave everyone on the course the confidence that we could tile

The course was relaxed but at the same time very informative. i was lucky because the group of people i was with were top notch, even the old bird (only joking carol)

I have set up on my own and have already done 2 paid jobs with loads of quotes to do
if anyone fancies a change of career or just wants to learn how to tile then this course is superb
the kettle is always on but mrs smith and the site manager are a pain in the backside!

If you are reading this Phil, ant and margaret keep up the great work a satisfied customer.

I have just finished a 6 week ICA course at Chase Tiling Academy . I was very pleased with the training provided Phil and Anthony the two tutors are highly trained in wall and floor tiling and provided first class training .

I would highly recommend Chase Tiling Academy to anyone considering taking up wall and floor tiling as a profession the 6 week ICA course is ideal if you have no experience and want to go on to achieve an NVQ 2 which I will be doing soon. I even had an interview with the internal verifier during my course who said the portfolios constructed for the NOCN and ICA awards were of the highest standard.

I am glad that I chose Chase tiling Academy to do my training. I now feel confident to take on my own jobs and to start tiling full time.

Thanks again Phil, Anthony and Margaret

I have recently completed the ICA tiling course at Chase after deciding on a career change. I only had DIY experience of tiling and did a lot of research to choose who to use. One course provider had never even heard of the ICA! I chose Chase because of its good reviews and their friendly and helpful attitude over the telephone even though it meant 120 miles a day in my car. I did not waste my money and found the course excellent.

The staff are very knowledgeable and very helpful. The first two weeks of the ICA course ran along side their two week course and during that time Phil and Anthony had taught me enough to feel confident enough to start out in tiling. So I can also say the two week course is excellent. Because I was from outside the building trade I had chosen to do the ICA course and during the additional four weeks they continued to expand my knowledge and also covered other skills like plastering that I felt would be useful to me if I was going to do it full time.

I also wanted my NVQ and by doing the ICA course I should be able to get it a lot quicker than the three years it would take if I just went out and started tiling. I would say don’t worry if you have never tiled and might not be able to keep up because the course is spread over enough time for them to cover each unit that has been set by the ICA and if you are a quick learner they are always about to answer all of your “what if” questioned in any downtime. Thanks to chase I have the confidence to go into anyone house knowing that I can do a good job to the correct standards.

My only criticism is that we had to take our own biscuits for the free tea and coffee!

Excellent course and highly recommended.

Hi all just finished the 6 week tiling course with those blaggards at ‘ChaseTilingAcademy’ had a great time and gained all the necessary skills to change career after 24 years in the Civil Service. Never done anything like this prior to the course.

Learned loads and found the course to be of high quality and value for money. Just a short thank you to all the staff there and a quick praise regarding for their friendly and professional approach during the course.

Always got an answer to any questions in a friendly, helpful and often highly humours way ! Got 6 domestic jobs lined up already and the usual family ‘can you’ demands so looking good.

To Phil especially many thanks chap. I expect you to win that Gold in the Olympic shooting and will be putting a £100 on you so you better win or I will nick your grout! I Intend doing the 2 week plumbing course again at ‘ChaseTilingAcademy’ with Anthony in early July 2008.

To those of you who may be worried as I was about joining or doing this course hand on heart I can honestly say it’s the best thing I have done for many years. Give it a go !

Atmosphere

Fantastic atmosphere lashed with humour and comical interludes which directly related to the trainers own experience in this sector. A great way to learn.


Sessions

Well structured well paced, easy to understand sessions. All personal objectives to learn have been met and more. Trainers Polite, articulate, fiercely supportive of each students needs and development. Presentation skills were terrific and refreshing. Interaction with students balanced and appropriate. Effective and efficent management of the learning group in view of what was being done amazing. Evidence of this is manifest and discernible in the students confidence in the use of tols methods and protocols learned and employed on the course over the six week duration.

Over all 360 degree feedback synopsis Exceptional value for money quality rather than quantity in terms of student group and training given. Individual student needs fuly met within the time allocated. Al trainers and support staff.
