an nvq course with proper training with a time served good tiler is better than a 4 week course you cant call yourself a tiler after a 4 week course same goes for plastering and other trades |
Ifind comments like these very offensive on thewhole, i hate being tarred with the same brush as the 'chancers' you're talking about, and i'm not getting at you here either because obviously you've got your reasons for saying this, i'm more having a go at people who do the courses and think they're time served tilers. I think it's down to the individual more than where you learn your trade, for example, the
tiler that tiled my bathroom was
nvq and served his time with a very well respected
tiler in my area yet done a job in my house that was so bad i could have done i could better after two weeks of coming off my course, i've said in posts before that i'm more than well aware that you don't do an intensive course and become a
tiler, just the same as you dont become a good driver the day you pass your test. i think everyone on here who helps us newbys out and gives us advice gets my utmost respect and gratitude for teh help and hopefully one day i can call myself a pro
tiler and mean it.
Sorry for the rambling it's just that i think you've exposed my pet hate in this thread, which is chancers and clever dicks making us 'course goers' look like gimps!!
Hope this hasn't offended anyone!!
Considering being a qualified tiler? Discuss wall and floor tiling NVQ's and SVQ's in here. Topics related to ICA, ConstructionSkills Card Schemes (CSCS Cards) and general Accredited Tiling Training can be found here too. Tiling NVQ Forum.
