Hi Darren here from UK Pro Tiling Training, we have been teaching tiling for the last 16 years to over 8000 people and are regarded in the tiling industry as one of the best, so definitely not a scam, a lot of great tilers on this forum have trained with us, we make no representation to the course giving you an NVQ qualification or a CSCS card, yes it can lead to an assessment if you want one but all courses can lead to the assessment as you need to learn how and what to do to take the assessment which would be done by an independent NVQ assessor,
Our advanced tiling course is centred around the correct way to tile, deal with background preparations and product knowledge and we teach people how to start a new career in tiling at a NVQ level 3 standard of learning and run a tiling business with all the skills and knowledge required, it is fast track course and gives you the foundations on knowledge to do tiling work when running your business,
Once you are confident and practiced your tiling skills and think you are ready to be assessed for your cscs card and NVQ, then you will contact the assessor yourself. Just like a driving lesson, the driving tutor just shows you how to drive properly he doesn't give you a driving licence, you then apply for your test when the time is right for you to get your licence as everyone is different and learns at different paces
If you are tiling domestically then there is no need for the css or NVQ qualification, it is only relevant for site work, most of my students start off in the domestic areas
Regards
Darren
