Do We Need an Association for Tile Fixers?

[Dan]

I'm not just talking about getting us all through an NVQ or gaining a CIS4 card.

I'm saying that at the moment, does the TTA do it for you? Would a newer association be the answer, or would we tell the TTA what they need to do to help us.

Have any of you found benefits with the TTA, and what benefits would you like to see from the TTA if you haven't seen anything so far sort-of-thing.

Yes a tile fixer's association could only be a good idea aimed specificaly, meaning not to include supplier's ,manufacturers, training center's ect ect.

Isn't sticking to a big association and helping them be more geared towards supporting the tile fixer rather than to consider joining one that is only lead by tile fixers?

If it is just a tile fixers association. Then should it only be ran by fixers currently tiling as a profession and not by somebody who once tiled?

has any one ever asked to see you nvq
most people want to see your work not bog roll(whoops i mean nvq)
what ever happened to good old fashion on site training
when i started there as no tiling course i could take and have never had to show my nvq (pvr asp fuc ) or ony other type of paper work
i am trining my 3rd tiler now hes done a course and is learning much more on site than he could hope to get in a classroom
so ill stay away from the federation of master tilers thanks
