Tile and stone journal july 2015 discussion thread

[Dan]

I thought this could be a regular thread maybe.

Tile and Stone Journal Discussion thread for July & August 2015.

Something I'd like to people to chat about more is the TTA segment on page 28. Particularly the EWPA route to a NVQ.

If you don't need further training you can gain this qual via EWPA. So basically you're providing employer endorsements, using whiteness testimonies, and doing a q&a. CITB can help on 03449444020.

This makes it viable for anybody who's doing tiling for a living and has good experience, to get the qual. I assume quite quickly but don't actually know.

Discuss.

Also TTA want Master Craftsman Award applications.

Does anybody know anybody with one currently? A nice thing to brag about!

I've just replied to the thread and changed the title of it so it can be found easier. Help the business and me find it again when I'm boasting about the fact I know him/you.

Literally a tiling celeb'!

I feel terrible. Had a lot going on though. So wasn't always around last year as most would have spotted I'm sure.
