What Would You Want From A Tile Fixer's Association? - TilersForums.com

[One Day]

Ok, without this immediately becoming a "rip the TTA to pieces" thread;

What would you want from an association?

I've put this in the Arms as it's most relevant to pro fixers. And I'll leave out my own thoughts for now...
Your ideas please!

A detailedtechnical handbook like the TCNA produce for their tilers , Independant testing lab,skills testing and centre of excellence for training and mentoring both new tilers and established fixers , regular communication via email and telephone

It's a good idea in theory to have these trade governing bodies, and in some ways i'm all for it, but until the masses are educated regarding different trades and who should and shouldn't be doing them it's just pointless. So many other countries seem to have better systems where a tiler is just that,so is a plumber, spark etc. In this country it seems to be the norm that you are encouraged to do a bit of everything. Which is why there is such a massive amount of rework jobs out there. So much of my work last year was rework. It's sad really.
So I guess I would like a governing body fighting to get it into peoples thick skulls that tiling is actually a bit more than a bit of PVA and blobbed adhesives.
Not sure how they would go about that mind.......

That should be very easy. I think the TTA assume that most tilers can't read though!
