Default Re: NVQ 2 Wall+Floor Tiling? Waste of time...?

I understand where you are coming from and can only empathise with your frustration.

My first couple of weeks on an NVQ :

I was told to learn to look telephone numbers in London up

Taught to make a tile staff through a video

Allowed to tile a Herringbone pattern I grouted it and got a bollocking no grouting till at least three months.

Taught how to calculate M2 area I learnt that when I was 10.

It went on and on

Some time ago i interviewed a guy who had just completed his NVQ 2

I asked him three questions

What is the difference between Class B and Class AA adhesive? (I know the classifications have changed now as well) (No Idea)
Explain Briefly Tanking? (No Idea)
Tell me what a Datum Line is? (No Idea)

He added things to his answers of no idea but I won't bore you with the drivel

Give me a tiler who has paid for a good quality intensive course any day
