Many thanks to to Phil and Sonia at Chase Tiling Academy for sorting my NVQ2 out in a no fuss manner.
Phil was a delight to deal with and answered all my concerns. He also came out to assess my work as soon as a suitable job was available.
They also arranged funding for me, which again was no trouble at all.
In fact i actually enjoyed the whole process

i know i spent a long time looking for funding and got fed up of looking after a while so went with chase . I probably could of found one closer to home but hey ho . Took me ages to get there but it all got sorted out swiftly horrible drive though . Shame you dont get the NVQ after 5 years apprentiship .

if you have completed and passed a 5 year apprenticeship you are entitled to a nvq3

Hi Mike is that true? I served a five year apprenticeship. I have all my paper work, do I qualify?

No you wont unless you have paperwork to prove you have City & Guilds or NVQ2. My assessment was through the experienced worker program and I still had to get assessed. Not great deal though and i would expect any tiler on here to fly through.

yes Phil its equivelant
