ive been tiling forover 25 yrs i did,nt have an nvq . worked for 1 company 10 yrs when they first fetched out the card system . we were granted grand father rights as we had been tiling for so long . dont know if that is still the case the company i worked for vouched for us regarding the standard of our work

Its not the case now, although i know of tilers who have obtained Experienced Worker CSCS cards just by telling the person they have been tiling for x number of years.

NVQ2 can be obtained via EWP through a training centre. Funding may be available but you need to talk to the training centre 1st as i believe they only so many funding places each year.

Grand father rights ended back in 2007..

Possibly because half the "grandfathers" we're naff.

Once registered for your NVQ you can apply for an extension on your current CSCS card for a further six months. Once that six months has elapsed you must have obtained your NVQ because its rare that you will be granted a second extension.

Don't need one, but it can't do any harm.

Can't argue with that

If you want to do site work then you do need one, and the sooner they are a requirement in order to get a long overdue license for working in domestic situations the better. It will get rid of the chancers and lift our image.
