The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP

My mate Ozboz (aka) as Steve has been tiling for forty years, he has worked in the UK and Australia, on every type of project imaginable. Yet he has to fork out £800.00 plus for a NVQ level 2, he should have at least level 3 given his experience. It seems strange that someone with a fraction of his knowledge maybe assessing him. He was showing me today the criteria (units) required for NVQ level 2.

As I sit on the TTA fixer training committee, I am aware the these units are being reviewed, I know grandfather rights have gone, but I do think that people of Steve's caliber should just be awarded NVQ2 without OSAT or the need to pay ££££s he has forgotten more about tiling than some people will ever learn. Sorry I must have my grumpy head on tonight.:thumbsup:

Sorry Mark just catching up, no Steve served his time at the same firm as me. But a few years behind, the college I did my City & Guilds at had stopped doing wall & floor tiling by the time Steve should have attended.
