5 day Tiling course, outstanding content for a relatively short course

Just this week completed the 5 day Tiling course, absolutely great tuition from Neil. Always setting new challenges throughout the week to develop and enhance skillset. Content of the course covered a good variety of scenarios.

Fantastic experience! Wish it could continue.

Completed the 5 day plastering course - learnt to mix plaster, trowel skills, how to plaster walls, plasterboard, ceilings, window openings and to repair holes by patching. As a woman in her mid-fifties I wondered how I'd be welcomed or even if I'd finish the course. I needn't have worried. The tuition was excellent and at my level, ie appropriate to any student's level. Everyone was friendly and I felt totally included. Now I need to put what I've learnt into practice and plaster my house! Great job Silver Trowel - definitely recommended. Although I ache from head to foot!

Loved the course, with a great teacher!

I’ve just finished the five day tiling course, and it was great! Neil is a fantastic teacher, he really encourages people and sets challenges when you’re ready to take them on. It’s a huge sense of achievement and I would highly recommend the course to anyone! My main reason for attending the course was for my own house renovations, but I’m now really interested in taking it further. They were very open to questions and guidance on everything you’re not sure on, and I’ll definitely be checking back on the website to find other skills I can build with Silver Trowel!

Excellent!!!

I'm so glad I decided to take the 4 day weekend plastering course and finished last Sunday. It's hard work, but we all could not believe that we could plaster a wall on the first day and the finish was not far off a professional standard. Colin is extremely talented, friendly and informative. He takes you step by step through the motions with a nice steady pace. They supply all of the equipment you need for the course and sell the same tools to buy. The cost of the tools are very reasonable with some slightly cheaper and some slightly more expensive than on-line. I decided to buy everything there as it evened itself out. There is also no hard sells, which was nice. I've worked out that with the cost of the equipment and the course I'll save myself about £3000 with the plastering I need to do in my home. I'm now confident that I can do the work. Thank you Colin. Just to let you know, they have moved from he address on here to Winchfield, Hants just off of the M3 near Fleet. It's all on their website. I would highly recommend Silver Trowel to anyone. Mike

Excellent

This is an excellent course - my partner took the 10 day plastering course and has learnt such a great skill. The course is well organised, great value for money with wonderful teaching. I would recommend Silver Trowel 110% and we will be booking in for more courses. Thank you very much Colin.

Greatest Place To Train.

Colin Teagle & Chris Hanlon, who are the instructors at Silver Trowel have a massive knowledge base, and there really was no question they couldn't answer with their years of experience and business savvy. They were also accommodating of my University commitments or if I needed to pause training to go on practical work experiences. A big thank you to all at Silver Trowel none of this would of been possible without you guys

Great......loved it !!!

I think the course is great.......it focuses on how it can cater for your needs as in = I needed to block door ways, re-build a garden wall and build a barbie of which I learnt all 3 in just 5 days. Brilliant the cost is fair and the equipment is everything you need and more. Will say though the web-site doesn't do them justice as it needs to show more of what you can create and state in what space of time you CAN create this !! I will be promoting this company to my friends as I believe everyone who does this will be amazed of what they can gain. BASICALLY I LOVED IT !!!! :)
