Pva

[diamondtiling]

the place i went is now ceased trading and i wont be giving their name out as im not sure what any legal implications maybe, but the were in cambridgeshire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are no legal implications for naming the training school you went to, you can say what you want, good or bad so long as its the truth, its called an opinion. If I had paid out good money for a course that advocated pva useage in the wrong situation then I would be naming and shaming them.

:ban:

it is in everones interest to name them

other new tilers that are coming onto this forum may have attended and if they are aware they can test what they have been taught against the more experianced tilers knowledge

i attended a two year day release nvq course

i sent myself from my own building maintenance business

the course was part of the plastering dept and the background section was taught by the plastering lecturers

and boy do they love using pva

the tiling area was a mezzanine above the plastering section and we were taught by a city and guilds qualified tiler with over 30 yrs practical tiling under his belt

he made it very clear that if he caught anyone upstairs with pva he would fail them for not listening

there are no circumstances where pva is used in tiling

despite being a two year nvq course there are huge gaps in the training on backgrounds and adhesives

i have the coursework in a folder which i read from time to time

lots on setting out and cutting but thats about it

the college is no longer running this course
