Thanks all, However I am thinking of attending the DIY school in manchester for their 4 day tiling course as its not too far away plus I can do this course over 2 weekends. Once I have done that I will start my tiling alongside floor laying and then build up my portfolio, and after a good few years experience I will arrange for an assessor to come out to my work place to assess my work and portfolio.

Thanks all I just want to get started and alot of the courses are far away whilst I am still at work.

Hi There

I did the course last year as it was local to myself. It is very basic ok for a beginner,but I guess with your experience it may be to basic for you. I am trying to get on to a more advance course,but the cost to do a NVQ course is so expensive. I found working with a experienced tiler is the best training you will get, plus going on here has helped me loads,just reading the info.

Good luck

Hi Darren
Can you send me some info via email on the course, I was in a similar situation and have been out of work for a while.
Thanks

Sorry, Did you do the course at the DIY school and did it enable you to start up on your own tiling etc?
There seems to be alot of confusion regarding a tiling NVQ so in the end I want to gain experience and then have an on site NVQ assesment, I think thats the best thing to do at the moment until the qualification board sorts its self out properly!
