Who's got their Tiling NVQ now?

[Noitavonni]

Thats where I started it 18 years ago, to re-sit it there would have cost me £ and time. Donny have free placements and they assess me in the workplace with only 1 class room visit!

I recently got my Tiling NVQ Level 2

[psychowitch]

Ive tried to get my NVQ via Capital Training in Wales... (it was one recommended to me) unfortunately early on work dried up so nothing for them to look at! Then when work started coming in they would never have the guy in my area at the right time...just a pain in the neck..stuck all my details in their database to keep in contact and then found it all wiped off for some reason...they never call back...

anyways anyone know of a Govt. funded NVQ assessor nearer Colchester? would like to get it done in 2010 ..

I know this is a really old poll but I thought it'd be nice to see who's got their NVQ these days.

That s a bloody lovely job mate. And well added to the thread too lol

 

[Ttt1601]

Got mine a while back through experienced worker route, was easy as you like, the practical element of it is very outdated in humble opinion.

 

[widler]

They just come out to site, see if you can do the job and you get it don't you ?
When I got asked to teach plastering and they said my C&G was not recognised by anyone , they came out, saw me plastering and said ' ok, you can have one "
Que the plasterers jokes

I was taught by my dad so don't have any qualifications as such I'd be interested in getting them tho how dI'd u go about it ?

 

[peteablard]

I know a floor layer who got his NVQ by talking through the job whilst having a brew with the assessor. He didn't fit a single thing! I've no intention of working anywhere that would require it so probably wont bother. Never say never though!!

 

[Ttt1601]

I did mine via the ewpa system, basically met a bloke at the bal training centre, had a "technical chat" he just asked loads of question about standard tiling practises, then did a very basic practical, 6" whites, border, diamond lay out in the middle arch over the top, then half a dozen quarry tiles on the floor with a square drain cut in the middle, nothing difficult. Was £750 I think. Took half a day. Although the travel from Hampshire took longer than the assessment lol.

 

[ashley600]

Try to hold of train to gain . Government subsidised when I did mine just an administration fee

 

[Aston]

I should of got mine in 2010 but the company doing them went into liquidation when the funding dried up.

Now that I am tiling permanently, i will be doing the nvq's. i personally think its good to be qualified in the trade that you do. I think its going to cost me around £500.
