Tiler Training In Scotland

Reliable estimates suggest that there are about 180,000 UK tradesmen who are actively involved in tiling- but probably 90% of them have no formal qualifications in this skill. Many are builders and plasterers who also fix tiles - three wet trades in one - and few will have had any proper training in tiling.

This has led to an important skills gap, particularly regarding the use of adhesives, in some parts of the industry. One result of this is a tendency to blame the adhesive when problems are encountered on site, when in reality the fault lies in poor preparation or the wrong choice of adhesive for the background.

The training created by the Tiler Training School is designed specifically to address the lack of proper training within the industry. It gives tilers the opportunity to come back and improve their skills, and equips newcomers with a sound understanding of tiling and adhesives technology.
