Q: Because the courses are short, will that give me enough experience to fit carpets? A: Yes! The courses are intensive, with hands on fitting. Speed however, comes with practise. But by building up experience, and sticking to their training, many of our trainees have become successful fitters in a surprisingly short time. As with any skill, you never stop learning. Q: Will the course be suitable for me? A: The courses are suitable for anyone who is reasonably fit and practical.  Although many of our trainees are sent by existing shops or fitters, we also train new starters with no experience. Trainees should have a good command of the English language  Practical assessments ensure that the course is suitable for people with Dyslexia. Q: I have looked at a few training options and your courses are cheaper, does that mean the courses are not as comprehensive? A: No! We are committed to delivering the best training possible. We are an independent training company with a wide range of skills, and materials such as the carpets which you will use during your training  are donated by sponsors. On top of that ! Our courses are also VAT free! Q: Will I receive a certificate? A: Yes! On completion of a course you will be issued with a UK Flooring Academy certificate which are well known in the trade. We will also supply training references at your request. Q: What dates do the courses run on? A: Course numbers are limited to small groups and start  every Monday,  including bank holidays in Burton upon Trent. Courses start at 9am and end when you are satisfied that you have mastered the skills. Vinyl courses start on Saturday. Q: How do I book and pay?
