I didn’t fancy a normal day-job and was looking for a career. I knew the owner of a local flooring business was looking for a trainee with some experience. I am good at practical skills and so I enrolled on a 3-day carpet fitting course. The course was great, and I started work with the shop the following week.” ————————————————————————— Mike Turner of Carpet Point completed a Domestic Carpet Fitting Course with the UKFA Mike says: “I have owned and run my own carpet shop for 15 years but have found it increasingly difficult to find good fitters. I decided to take a fitting course in order to carry out some work myself when we are busy. Despite my experience I was amazed how much I learned on the course. Not only am I now able to fit carpets if need be, but when I am estimating, I have a much better understanding of potential fitting problems and how to deal with them. I think the course is ideal for people in the trade who want to increase their expertise.”
—————————————————————————— David Finnimore of Exeter set up his own business Dave says: “Although I have been employed in a regular job I have always been handy and have often fitted laminate flooring for friends and family. When I was made redundant, I decided to use the opportunity to set up in business and I enrolled on a carpet fitting course with the UKFA to broaden my skills. The course was very informative and certainly worth doing. I have been trading for a while now and things are going well. Although I am better known for laminate I often get asked for carpet at the same time, and I was able to put my training to good use from the start. I would certainly recommend the courses”.
