Has anyone contained by uk done a fita course for runner fitting or stoneware tileing ???? im involved in sale of both products & know how 2 fit...
im involved in sale of both products & know how 2 fit them but working in sale for 15 years havent got the hand on exsperience of fitting...if u know what i mean !!!
thease courses are 4-5 days & cost around lb600 respectively & they recon after the 5 days your ready to travel & fit....
just wondering if any of u own done this or any advice cos im thinking of gettin mi hand dirty lol
Like lots 'hands on' skills, its the practice and repetition, that solely comes with experience, that really give you 'the skill'.
No doubt these course will give you a highly basic grounding surrounded by the principles involved and some (minimal) practical experience.
Yes, after 5 days you WILL be able to fit. But to WHAT standard and, increasingly central, how FAST.
Don't forget - fixing tiles and carpet to watertight flat surfaces in a workshop environment is one article, doing it in someone's home where on earth things are rarely level/plumb/flat is a different entity altogether.
I'm not contained by the UK, and can't relate to what 600 pounds means to you, surrounded by a budget sense, BUT, I have be in the trades for a awfully long time, and have so recurrently wished those contained by "SALES" or planning, actually have field experience. The sentiment certainly relates to getting ones hand "dirty" but more than that, I cannot imagine anyone SELLING something they know little something like in a hugely practical sense.
I offer one example, albeit not as a "Fitter" strictly.
Assume a wearing clothes Architect, is a ARTIST, and might design a viable structure. Transferring that to the tradesman, often leaves things askew, and near no offense to the "designer", I think it should be manditory for anyone selling, creating, promoting anything, to own first hand, working education of a product or service as it's applied to after the fact situations.
