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

Dose 30 years plus doing the same job not make you a qualified?

I got no intention working for builders, on site, or doing any commercial work......99% of my business comes from recommendation or referals...and not once has any customer asked to see my cscs card or nvq.....if it comes to the piont where you have to have one to work self employed in any trade doing nothing but private work....then I would get them.....l got about 10 years work left in me and I can't see it happening by then....lol

No m8 30 years makes you experienced the bit of paper makes you qualified.

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. .

I have never read anything from the TTA about this change and they are still encouraging unqualified tilers to apply for membership. If the drive for this isn't coming from the TTA, then where is it being driven from?

I don't think it is a change it is just an industry working towards a qualified workforce. They have a good grip on the commercial side of things it is only a mater of time before they turn there attention to the domestic market.

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.

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.
