This is our top wall and floor tiling course. In the 10 Day Accredited wall and floor tiling course you will undertake 2 Cskills tiling assessment units.
You will be trained and assessed on the following units:
- NOCN Cskills Level 1 Unit: Tiling A Wall With Decorative Features (Square Tiles)
- NOCN Cskills Level 1 Unit: Tiling A Floor With Obstacles
- On achievement of the above units you will gain 6 credits at level 1 and be awarded a unit accreditation certificate for ‘Skills for Tiling’ from NOCN Cskills.
NOCN Cskills (Construction Skills) formally CITB Cskills are the awarding body for construction NVQ’s so the Cskills brand and logos are well known within the construction industry.
The Cskills accredited units you will complete over the 10 days will show potential employers or customers your competence in your chosen trade. On completion of the above assessments a unit certificate will be achieved for each of the completed units. This is known as a unit-accreditation certificate which is ideal to build on and demonstrate prior knowledge for when you look to gain the NVQ level 2 once you have gained some tiling experience.
Note: This tiling course can be split into two separate weeks. E.g: No extra cost for split dates. Please feel free to arrange a visit prior to booking so you can see for yourself and chat to students on the course!!
