Discuss New full city and guilds wall and floor tiling qualification approved in the UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.
and i have maybe i will see you at the next meeting :smilewinkgrin:Had a few phone calls and email enquiries recently about ournew city and guilds tiling course.
We have learners already enrolled onto the city and guilds4555 wall and floor tiling course and uptake has been pretty good.
However I think to avoid confusion and to clarify I shouldadd the following:-
This course can ONLY be undertaken at Ableskills as it is “centrelocked” to us or in other words exclusive for us to deliver.
The main reasons that it is locked to us are as follows:-
1. It has been written by ourselves and as such wehold exclusivity on the product.
2. Ableskills has been approved to deliver amultitude of city and guilds courses for nearly 10 years (as well asConstruction skills NVQs). To be able to deliver city and guilds coursestraining centres/colleges are subjected to external verification by theawarding body.
What that means is External verifiers fromthe awarding body check that what you are delivering as a centre/college is inline with current national occupational standards, specific assessment criteriaand that learning outcomes are being met.
External verifiers also check that thestaff delivering the training are vocationally qualified and are A1 assessors.
They also sample at random learners’portfolios to see if they have been internally verified by centre/collegestaff.
As you can see centres/colleges have tofollow strict guidelines to be able to deliver qualification courses. NOT ALLTRAINING CENTRES DO THIS!
With our experience in delivering city andguilds courses and as there is no current city and guilds tiling courseavailable, we approached the awarding body with the intention of creating a tilingcourse meeting all occupational standards whilst being backed by the awardingbody.
After ten months of hard work I personallyformalised a course.
Several draft documents and revisions were placedin front of the city and guilds committee until it finally gained approval.
On a personal note I feel that afterworking in the industry for the past 25 years including 10 years’ experience teaching this fantastic trade that I am fairlywell qualified to put this course together although I am happy to admit that weall learn new things every day and I am certainly no exception to the rule.
So there you have it guys and girls (Rant over)hope that clears things up for everyone.
Finally since formulating this course Ihave accepted a personal invitation by city and guilds to work with them on aconsultancy basis in developing further courses including Levels 1,2 and 3 inwall and floor tiling with the intention of the courses being nationallyrecognised. These courses are likely to be months if not years in development.
Nothing would give me more pleasure than tosee this trade fully recognised by City and Guilds.
So until such time C&G 4555 is what wehave.
and i have maybe i will see you at the next meeting :smilewinkgrin:
