Who's got their Tiling NVQ now?

[Dan]

Just a quick poll to see who's got their tiling NVQ and who hasn't. It's nearing 2010 and I'm wondering how many have not bothered to get passed.

If you're time-served or new there are routes you can take to get your tiling NVQ. All of our training centre sponsors can help you.

If you deal in other trades too, perhaps plumbing or plastering then the sponsors of our sister forums can help you out. Often there is a bit of discount for forum members but I can't promise anything.

There is funding available now for various people but not everybody. Contact the training centre's to see if you fit in the governments category for funding.

Not something have thought i needed at present, but is worth doing if funding is available..

So i voted nope..lol

[Prem Tiler]

I'm half way through mine bit I need to get some 'site' work to tick a few all important boxes. Any one near me need a labourer?:smilewinkgrin:

 

[doug boardley]

I haven't and don't think I can get train to gain funding as I've got A levels and a HNC

They do allocate places to people who dont fit the criteria check to see if you can get one of the 'golden tickets'.

 

[brian c]

no because i never intend to do site work,prefer the domestics,only my opinion.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

[White Room]

I voted no but I am going through it at the moment

 

[brian c]

gooner you will need one to work on sites from some date in 2010.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

why are we going to have the nvq police at the gates of the sites ,its all these do gooders again theyer killing trades in this country you will need a licence to fart soon:yikes:

 

[brian c]

[doug boardley]

I'm gonna have to have another look into it

 

[brian c]

[doug boardley]

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BUY THEM ON THE NETT SOON ENOUGH DOUG :lol:

ok Bri, will have a word with Darren:lol::lol:

 

[Prem Tiler]

I'll prob be shot here but I think the idea behind it is a good idea. The need for an NVQ is to gain a CSCS card which you will need by law to work on any building site.

It could if not abused go towards the licencing of tilers. Yes, licencing will cost us a few quid but I will do more to eradicate cowboys than anything else.

In Scotland you need a licence to be a window cleaner, A job famous for cowboys but its made a huge difference up there.

 

[brian c]

i never get a eceipt when i give him my £4 Dean..:smilewinkgrin: sure they are! :smilewinkgrin:

 

[foxman]

well you shouldnt be so hideously clever!!!

 

[Prem Tiler]

There are still some out there but all with licences have to have insurance. If a window cleaner without insurance has an accident on your property you are liable for damages because you employed a non insured contractor. Probably the same with tilers. I don't know to be honest.

I use a talk to a few scottish window cleaners and they all think there's more work out there now there's less cowboys and they can charge better prices as people know there paying a professional.

 

[EH TILING]

Ive nearly passed my nvq 2 through train to gain, just one more assessment then its all done.

:hurray:

 

[doug boardley]

i never get a eceipt when i give him my £4 Dean..:smilewinkgrin: sure they are! :smilewinkgrin:

do you not clean your own Bri? I use my washboy, separate sponge of course, does a real good job

 

[brian c]

i never get a receipt when i give him my £4 Dean..:smilewinkgrin: sure they are! :smilewinkgrin:

:smilewinkgrin:

 

[faithhealer]

waiting for Nett to get back to me, don't think |I'll ever need it but....

 

[brian c]

Doug do you think my name is INSPECTOR GADGET :lol::lol::lol:

YOU ARE JUST TOOO MISERABLE TO SHELL OUT THE £4 Doug..:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Prem Tiler]

£4!!!:yikes:

You wouldn't get a window cleaner to park out side your house for that round here lads. There a bloody rip off:smilewinkgrin:

 

[davy_G]

I aint got one, no one has ever mentioned it over here.

 

[diamondtiling]

gooner you will need one to work on sites from some date in 2010.

You need one now for site work or you will get the basic card, I took mine two years ago because I did not want a cscs card saying I was a Labourer, with the NVQ you will get an experienced worker card. It is for site work but I think it will go further and cover domestic work in the near future the same as part p and corgi and that can only be good for this Industry.

 

[jay]

good idea push cowboys out of site work wonder where they will go :8:

 

[EH TILING]

back to college hopefully!

 

[hillhead]

I have to look into it myself.i have other trade qualifications and will walk this one im sure.but have none at min.
