| "What can I say about Diamond training? one word sums the course up. Sensational. |
| |
| I am 30 years young and I worked in insurance for 10 years. I was bored and frustrated working 40 hours a week for somebody else when I could be working for myself. I took the plunge and quit my job in search for a new career. I have never been a hands on person so learning a trade was a big challenge for me. I called numerous tiling courses and after speaking with Diamond training there was no turning back. My bags were packed and this essex boy was off to Ford to learn to Tile. |
| |
| The training facilites were fantastic and the teaching was spot on, very laid back, nothing like school, treated as an equal and the Guru of Tiling was always there for any help and advice. The atomosphere and banter made the course even more enjoyable. I opted for the bed and breakfast package as I lived miles away and I was very impressed with this as i was worried I also had to pay and find accomodation, but Diamond training took care of everything and even picked me up from the train station! |

I had never laid a tile in my life before joing Diamond training, and by the time I left I was confident I could lay straight, brick or diamond set patterns, design patterns,etc and deal with any kind of difficult cut using easy methods which were taught. I am hoping to go back and finish the final two weeks as I am having alot of requests for underfloor heating.
I did the two week course and since then I have started my own tiling business called Scott Boyle Creative Tiling, I expected it to be slow at first but the jobs came in steady and everybody I spoke to needed tiling. I am now earning the same money as I was in insurance and only working half the time. And I am now booking in work for the next few months which will double my income.

I highly recommend Diamond training, and if you truely value yourself and your life, dont put it off because you will never do it and always wonder what if. There is no better investment than investing in yourself. One life.
I would truely like to thank Kenny and Diamond training for all their help during and after the course."

I was a medical sales executive based in Northern Ireland and was getting increasingly dissatisfied in the sales profession after 8 years. Having always been 'hands on' around the home and with cars etc I was keen to 1) become self employed 2) earn as much or hopefully more than what I was currently earning and 3) learn a skill that I can take anywhere. This would hopefully make me happier!
|
Being self-sufficient really was my driving force. So I researched trades and tiling came up trumps - relatively quicker to grasp, and good earning potential from the outset. I found various training centres on the web, recieved various brochures from them in the post and telephoned them too. |
| |
Kenny Dobson at Diamond Training Centre was frank, informative, knowledgeable and put my mind at ease. No-nonsense and told it how it was. The cheque was written and the flights were booked a short while after that telephone call. I never looked back.

The craic we had on the course was what made it along with obviously what we learned. Having never lifted a tile before to coming home and tiling 2 en-suites for a friend, and doing a travertine bathroom in my own house was a great confidence builder. And yes this is true with photos to prove. More to the point, we were taught the RIGHT way which is the ONLY way. It was tough at times - boy I scratched my balding head at full room setting out - half vertical and half horizontal brick block with a window running off and a wonky bath (Theres plenty of them at Diamond...) but learning the hard way really made it easier when I came home. |
| |
In a nutshell, if you want to change your life and you have the desire to persevere through the hard times including when you set up your business - Kenny at Diamond Training is money well spent. View U-Tile.com and see what I achieved coming all the way over from Ireland thanks to Kenny. Top bloke and top training |

| just wanted to drop you a line to express my thanks to you both, for all your help & advice I received whilst on the course. I wanted to let you know just how helpful & informative I found the 2 weeks. Before joining I lacked confidence to be able to start up my own tiling business even though I had some tiling experience. However within the first week I found your approach both encouraging & helpful, & now feel able to go out there & do it. I would like to come back for an extra week at some point to learn more about mosaics, under tile heating & a few other things.Congratulations on the way you run your courses & I wish you both all the best for the future. |

| Thanks for making me feel so welcome at the centre As you know I was a bit apprehensive at taking on a new trade especially at my ripe old age! The banter came thick and fast with the other guys and it was a really fun enviroment to learn in, just wish I'd done it sooner although I may be back to learn about the 4 way rotational patterns!
