[QUOTE="Dan, post: 98962, member: 1"] I think it would be a really good work force and that our tilers that derserve the work would get it, and paid at a decent price, if all the centre's were accredited though. And all the tiler's trained. I think training centre's that are NOT working towards and NVQ are inferior to be frank. I think though tiling as a business does involve lots of practical - you do need the knowledge too - it's a finishing trade that has a lot of different products and applications and can be one of the most critisised by customers when it goes wrong. I think the training centre's knocking the NVQ need to get a grip. It's not a distant impossible grade for the 'time served' tilers to get, and christ if I were in a trade where I knew I was elite and established I'd be the first to stick my workforce through it - what better selling point to new contactors or domestic customers? I think a lot of the training centre's are knocking it because they've been knocked back by accreditation - and that's not fair to cause a fuss over the actual qualification for that reason alone - would they if they DID get approved? I don't think so. They'd be shouting about it as much as everybody who knows you need an NVQ by 2010 (not to get work - but to get easy work and a guaranteed job) There are grants, it's often cheap if not free (not always) and the time-served tilers WILL fly though it. If you put £15 a month to onc side now JUST INCASE - then if you're struggling nearer the time you know you have some cash to go out and get yourself certified to the government backed training qualification. I know we don't all like that - but we can't have our judgment blurred by views of some centre that's decided they're now better than the NVQ or the NVQ was never worth it for them (after they have applied and looked in to accreditation and have either been knokced back or just knew it's real hard work). I think it's a shame to see newer tilers to be mislead - and the older ones to be used almost, as a tool to get their training centre work. Speak to the right people and see what you think then - [URL="http://www.tilersforums.com/redirector.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tilingcoursescompanies.co.uk"]Tiling Courses - Tile Training Courses - Wall and Floor Tiling Course - Tiling NVQ - Tiling Courses & Tiling Course Companies[/URL] [/QUOTE]
