Hi all,
Well, this is a common one that is raised Re:
NVQ's.
The
NVQ programme for Tiling is written by the CAA, who also write the programme for the Intermediate Constrcution Award. The ICA is the FULL underpinning knowledge required for an NVQ2 in Tiling. This is how you can get an NVQ2 quickly instead of having to wait 3 years.
They are basicaly saying that if you do 'our accredited training', then we know you have been trained correctly and therefore we can trust you to do an
NVQ and pass it.
If you have done your training elsewhere, even though it may be accredited by another awarding body, we can't trust the quality of the training and therefore require you to have 3 years experience, just in case
We run a 26 week
NVQ course, for potential tilers that have never touched a tile in their life. Needless to say, these courses are extrememely popular.
