Tiling Cscs Cards - Blue Card Nvq Level 2 For Domestic Jobs Soon

[The D]

How will the multi traders or general builders cope.

Would they need an nvq in every trade they do to make them qualfied.

On a building site its very much one trade dose one job......in the domestic maket......its very different. Most of us strip walls and prep them. Re- board floors , box in pipes......some even plane doors and plinths....but lets not go there..lol

Great if it could work...might stop some of the builders pretending to be tilers. ...won't hold my breath just yet though. .

That is why it is easier for the domestic tilers to hit the criteria in an NVQ. Most site tilers have to use privet work to hit some of the units required as evidence.

Personally can't see it working Dean on the domestic side...

why is that m8 ??

 

[White Room]

why is that m8 ??

Because of the general public thereself, price allways seems to be an issue and they all know Bob down the road who will do it for such and such.

Don't get me wrong mate I would love to see it happen but just can't see it working at the moment.

Any further news about this?

 

[Diggy]

Actually had a good laugh doing the test , as I did it with another tiler I've known for donkeys years . It was pretty straight forward stuff , no power tools allowed , this was mainly for testing the ability to cut quarries around a drain. Sorry about the naff pics , phone aint much cop.

[Dan]

so you're a real tiler now then 🙂

 

[White Room]

Is that what you do to get a qualification.....sorry If I missed something.

 

[Dan]

Cutting quarries with nippers? What a maul. I'm sure that's designed just to drag the process out?!

 

[Diggy]

As we went along the guy asks questions , takes pics etc , then at the end records a 20 min conversation individually , to make sure you can talk the talk , as well as walk the walk as it were.
Whitebeam , yes , that is the practical test , designed by one of the top honchos at the TTA as I understand it , whom I spoke to year or so ago.

Dan , the nippers were just to show you could do it without power tools. My m8 and I were the first to do it without breaking a quarry apparently.

Diggy .

so how do the new guys re-training for domestic tiling get the relevant experience if they intend to be a 1 man company?

 

[Stevev]

Is there a mathematical equation to work out how the tiles are cut for the arch depending on the size of the arch?
