Welcome to professional Independent Training Techniques and your training team. This section will allow you to take a virtual tour of our excellent facilities. It also gives you the opportunity to meet the staff at PITT, I hope this tour will give you the reassurance your are looking for. Enjoy!
Administration
I would like you to meet Angela our office manager who along with her team takes care of all the behind the scenes work and is on the end of the phone should you need to ask any questions. Please feel free to contact the admin team any time.
Training Centre
Welcome to our training facility here in the Potteries the heart of ceramics. Here at PITT we teach ceramic wall & floor tiling to both professional and DIY level. All our trainers are from Stoke-on-Trent where ceramic tiles and crockery etc were always manufactured. We understand Ceramic Tiling in detail so why not visit us anytime 7 days a week here at PITT. And dont forget we have a state of the art plumbing centre here to compliment the skills of any ceramic tiler/bathroom installer.
Buffet Lunch
Here at PITT we have two working Kitchens to cater for your every need, from snacks, hot buttered toast and the preparation of your free buffet lunch from our Hygienic well maintained kitchen.
All of our Kitchen staff are trained in food hygiene as you would expect. We train new and existing Ceramic Tilers in how to tile such areas, from domestic through to commercial and even hospital sterile units. We are experts in such regulated requirements, only what you would expect from a professional centre.
Training Rooms
This is a view of one of the 12 tiling rooms. These bathrooms are all built to match real rooms that you will come across in every day ceramic tiling situations. Each room has a slight difference as all delegates will set-out for both walls and floors some 4 times to ensure your competence before you leave to work alone.
Safe car parking
We at PITT feel it necessary while you are here learning that we provide a locked secure car park so you have nothing to worry about when it comes to personal belongings that you may have with you. The centre is in a nice area, however better to be safe than sorry. And don't worry about rushing for a space as we have enclosed locked parking for over 35 vehicles in our own grounds.
