Tiler Business TrainingYou learned to set out a bathroom in four years. Nobody ever taught you to run the business.

Tiling business training for owners who can hang a wall dead plumb but have never been shown how to price, plan or lead. This page is about the skills nobody teaches on site, taught in a way that fits around a full working week.

The week this is about

Sound Like Your Tiling Business?

Four years of trade school, none of it business

Cert III in Wall and Floor Tiling taught you screeds, falls, set out and grout. It did not teach you a profit and loss, a hiring conversation, or what to say when a builder asks you to sharpen your quote.

Learning the business by losing money on it

Every lesson so far has cost you. The job you underquoted, the apprentice you hired wrong, the GST bill that arrived when the account was empty. Trial and error works, but it charges tuition in cash and weekends.

No time to learn between site and quotes

You are on the tools until four, quoting until eight, chasing tile deliveries in between. A two day course in the city means two days not tiling, which means two days not earning. So the learning never starts.

Stay self taught and every mistake you make is one another tiling business owner already made, wrote down, and would have handed you for nothing.

Training

Here Is What We Do About It.

The Learning Hub gives you the full lesson library inside the Tradies App for $199 a month, watched at smoko or after the kids are down. Business Foundations puts you in weekly live sessions hosted by Greg Allan, where you bring your actual numbers and your actual jobs, and leave with the next move.

How it works

Three Steps, Starting Tonight.

Step 1

Start tonight, for nothing

Join the free Tradies App and the starter courses open straight away. No card, no trial clock counting down while you are still on site.

Step 2

Work the module that matches the problem

You do not start at lesson one and work through the lot. You start at the thing that is costing you money this month, and the library is organised so you can find it.

Step 3

Take it live

Business Foundations runs weekly with Greg Allan, so the module you watched on Tuesday gets pressure tested against your actual numbers on Thursday.

Why Greg

You speak to the owner who has already done it.

Greg built Response Electricians in Perth into a 30+ staff business with 1,950+ five-star reviews. A general manager runs it.

He has trained 9,000+ trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand.

He grew a coaching company to 35 staff, a CEO and 15 coaches, then cut it back so every owner deals with him directly.

Most coaching companies hand you to a salesperson, then to a coach who has never run a trade business. Here you get the owner.

What changes for you

The old way. The new way.

Illustration: a trade business owner standing over three office staff buried in paperwork at night.
The old way

More customers meant more people doing the computer work, and more wages nobody invoices.

Illustration: a tradesman shaking hands with a homeowner in her driveway, his phone showing jobs quoted and invoiced.
The new way

You stay with your customers and your team. The office stops landing on you.

The old way

More jobs. More paperwork. Less of the owner left.

Most trade businesses grow the same way.

More jobs means more quoting, invoicing, chasing and scheduling.

None of it gets paid for.

So the owner does it at night, after a full day on site.

Or hires an office person to do it.

The office grows. The wages grow. The margin does not.

And the owner is still the one everything waits on.

Where we take you

More work. More profit. More of you left.

The phone rings with the jobs you want, at the price you set.

You grow when you're ready, never faster than the business can carry.

Every job is priced to make money, so the busy months show up in the bank.

The best tradies in your area want to work for you, and they stay.

The chasing, the paperwork and the 9pm admin stop landing on you.

The business runs the day. You pick which parts of it you're in.

Bigger, without the headaches. Getting bigger stops meaning getting busier.

What changes

What Tiling Business Training Actually Changes.

Three things tiling business owners walk away able to do.

Build a charge out rate from your real hours, not the going rate at the tile shop

Read your own profit and loss and know which jobs actually made money

Write a tiling quote that spells out scope, exclusions and variations before you start

Questions

Tiler Business Training, Answered.

I am on the tools all day, when would I actually do the training?
At your pace. The Learning Hub lessons sit in the Tradies App on your phone, so they get done in the ute before a start, at smoko, or on the couch after the tools are packed. Business Foundations runs live each week, and the sessions are there to catch up on if a job runs over.
Is this a tiling course or a business course?
A business course. Your Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling already taught you the trade, and no course will improve your set out. This is the other half: pricing, cash, systems, marketing, hiring and leadership, built by an owner who has run a trade business and aimed at owners who are still on the tools.
I am a one man tiling business, is this training built for me?
Yes. Most tilers who come to us are the owner, the estimator, the labourer and the bookkeeper in one ute. The training starts where you are, with pricing and cash, and only moves to hiring and systems when you want to. More than 9,000 tradies have been trained this way.
