I Was Wondering, Will The 4 Day Course At Nett Be More Than Enough To Be Able To Go Into People's Homes And Start Tiling Or Do You Really Need An Nvq2 To Be Completley Safe? Coz Me And A Mate Are Thinking Bout Doing The Nett Course But Dont Know If It Would Be Enough?

Dave

There are plenty members on here who have done NETT course and gone straight onto tiling.....nvq is ok if you want to do site work.....

Your experiance will begin when you start to tile on your own.....

It's sound and you can certanly get work from doing a short course. Obviousy there's lots to practise and you'll still be learning when you've been doing the job for years, as would someboy who's done a NVQ but it's a good step to make. You can still do your NVQ after the course via OSAT too should you get requests for site-work and you fancy giving it a go.

I have loads of work on at the moment and they are all recommendations and I learned to tile at NETT, Darren will also help you get through you NVQ aswell once you have done his course, the aftercare at NETT is fantastic.

I just did the course at NETT then went straight into tiling for other people.

well from the amount of new people arriving in tiling I'd say plenty are jumping in and hopingto land on thier feet. I'm not sure on the success rate of these people. As many are apparently going under as are testing the water at the moment. Even guys been in the trade for many years feeling the force of it and having to find other options, a bit sad really but pushing us all in nthe direction of multiskill now.

To further add:

An ICA and NOCN in Tiling are both classed as 'progression' awards to help gain your NVQ. The ICA is full underpinning knowledge training in your trowel trade. Where as the NOCN is an award that is done in units. Each unit holds 3 credits, of which you need 12 credits to acheive the full award. Each unit requires a minimum of 30 guided learning hours. So bear this in mind when selecting your training centre. Some centres will offer the full 12 units, others won't.
