    I have been on one of your BWFA sand seal courses in the last 6 months and have been on Ardex factory days in the past as they are 2 miles away from me, but havent been on any floorskills courses yet would prefer 2 day but if you think 3 days is best? then so be it. I am Neil from North Essex came there with Liam and I recently spoke about an inspection in North Essex which I will not need now because as soon as we told the installers (builders from insurance company) that we where getting you guys in they s**t their pants and put their hands up to poor fitting :lol:

    Hi mate,

    I would advice the 3 day as ardex wont cover some a lot of the stuff we will cover.

    But if you want just the 2 day course that is fine. Just note that we wont be able to answer questions etc on subfloor prep if was covered the previous day as it wont be fair on the chaps that will be doing subfloor prep the day before. We had a chap last week that missed the subfloor prep day and he didnt understand half of what followed. Tried to help him out but we ended up delaying the rest of the group which is not fair on them.

    Providing your happy with the above then you can come on a 2 day no problem.

    Let me know, will it be just yourself coming also?

    Hi mate,

    Yes I would like just 2 days on this one as I have done a lot of research over the years with Ardex and F Ball technical departments and have had some experience with cap and cove, trouble is I was shown cap and cove by some bodgers so want to learn the correct way, and tbh can only fund 2 days at the moment :( , and that will be just myself attending.
