    Wondering what course would be recommended for me have been fitting vinyl and carpet for 29 years , have fitted LVT over the years but only basic stuff no Borders , interested in learning the correct way of doing it , because I keep getting enquires and would like to expand in to this .
    I know there is basic intermediate and advanced courses .
    I am a nicf member so will look at there courses too .
    I see there is one in January but wondered if there is any thing down south

    closest down south i think is Karndean. We are about 25 mins away from them. The karndean courses are very good. But i would recommend one of our courses over it as there not product pacific so you get to try different LVT's, different adhesives etc.

    Plus we have the best trainers ;)

    Thanks for the Nicf advice but not everyone can work for Tesconext but if it allows work for people then at least it has its benefits.

    U can't work for tesco ?
    They just pass your name on to the customer , most firms on the internet who sell carpet dont send fitters out so they recommend using the nicf site and normally I would end up doing the whole job by doing an all in price, turning a fitting enquiry in to a nice order :D
