That cos they want an NVQ2

go to your nearest college that does tiling courses ask about ewpa experienced worker practical assessment . it will cost £62.50 for registration and you will have to provide a portfolio and any proof you have of being in the tiling industry for over 5 years references , photos etc they will give you a few questions on maths and english and some tiling questions , you will also have to do a bit of tiling . the whole thing will take no less then 3 months but you have to find a college who are government funded

You can get an NVQ2 through Chase Tiling Academy and get funding too...You will walk it Mark no worries.

Hi Marky, 24 yrs should get you a diamond encrusted platinum master craftsman card imo, nvq is fine but, if you don't qualify for at least level 2, more like level 3, they should bring back grandfather rights in your case, and anyone else with your experience

they are away with the fairies at bircham newton these days, they must be on magic mushrooms

I took my H&S and sent off for my gold card and got a temporary workers card that lasts for 12 months and cant be renewed next year without achieving a nvq

you can imagine the conversations Ive had with them

they had lost my qualifications , but its alright now , they found them hiding in the computor:mad2:
