Dear Forum Members

I have received a private message from a member who has read a post on the public forum requesting a course breakdown on what exactly has to be covered (and provided) on the NVQ level 2.

I hope that my reply will help answer queries.

Units you must complete to achieve an NVQ level 2 in wall and floor tiling

VRO1 Conform to General Workplace Safety
VR02 Conform to Efficient Work Practices
VR03 Move and Handle Resources
VR141 Prepare Backgrounds for tiling
VR142 Tile Wall and Floor Surfaces

The NVQ is purely work based and you must have a least three years tiling experience with evidence to prove this.

Have completed an ICA accredited tiling training course which is all the underpinning knowledge for the NVQ.

Units you must complete to achieve the ICA level 2 in wall and floor tiling

As well as tiling, basic plastering / rendering and screeding is included as part of the City & Guilds ICA curriculum.

The ICA scheme of work and the NVQ strategy / programme is available to students that have enrolled and started on either of the above programmes.

To deliver the above awards the training centre MUST be accredited, have Qualified Instructors / Assessors inplace along with an Internal Verifier.
