Brief description of course and work roles
The Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling develops the skills needed to work as a qualified
tiler.
Wall and floor tilers generally fix wall and floor tiles, carry out mosaic and decorative tiling and tile curved surfaces.
Tilers lay ceramic, clay, slate, marble, glass and other types of tiles on external and internal walls and floors to create protective and decorative finishes. Much of the work takes place on new buildings, including houses, shops, commercial offices, factories and swimming pools, but wall and floor tilers also carry out renovations on existing buildings.
