O.S.A.T (on site assessment and training) through the government backed scheme Train to Gain can offer you an NVQ level 2 in wall and floor tiling certificate. Funding is free for this qualification provided that you have no other similar qualifications. There is also no need to attend lengthy college courses to obtain this qualification because this can be taken on site or at your place of work with the help of a qualified wall and floor tiling assessor. The assessor will attend your place of work and together with you ,gather the necessary evidence, (pictures,plans,job sheets etc) to gain this qualification.
