Anyone from scotland got there NVQ 2 and how did they achieve it? or any tiler from england as well how did you gain your NVQ did you apply thorw colleges or training centres??

 

[village tiling]

never bothered doing it.. ive never been asked for it and i do quite a bit of site work too..
plus i know a few lads who r in there second year of there nvq and havnt even been taught how to grout. im not generelising all nvq courses but the ones they r on dont seem to be much good.

After 18 years of time-served tiling work I've decided to get my NVQ-2. Business Link Nottingham helped me find Doncaster College and its free for me to complete (backed from the government). I'm just going through the initial stages (risk assessment - see my other post, help?!). I'll post again when I have more info for you all.

passed the health and safety test today, should get my cscs card as nvq level 2 wall and floor tiler in the post! :hurray:

iv'e been on commercial sit's for year's and no one has ever asked me for anything other than the silly H&S man keep telling me to put my hat on , that was up north, but when you work in london most sites are a shambles at H&S i would say northerner's take it more seriously

2010 could be interesting

 

[village tiling]

i personally dont think alot will change.. its similar to a few years ago when everyone was sayin that if you didnt have your CSCS card you wouldnt be allowed on sites after 2008... i havnt got a CSCS and noone has ever asked me for a CSCS card on any site ive been on. if you have got common sense and are a good tiler there is no reason why you shouldnt get site work, i get loads of site work..i think that alot of this stuff is scaremongering by the authorities and an excuse for the government to make money out of people by introducing these hairbrained schemes..... but thats just my opinion!!!!!

 

[LHowellCeramics]
