6 Week Professional Tiling Diploma

Able Skills has been an established and reputable CAA (Construction Awards Alliance) approved training centre for some time now. We previously delivered Intermediate Construction Awards which have been replaced by Construction Diplomas and we are accredited to deliver these.

We will provide training, assessment and exams in order for you to obtain a Level 2 Construction Diploma in Wall and Floor Tiling and additionally, we can provide on site assessment for Tiling National Vocational Qualifications.

Construction Awards Alliance Level 2 Plastering Diploma

Delivery of this particular Tiling Diploma is a mixture of both theory and practical Tiling training and assessment and there are several Tiling units which need to be completed to achieve the Diploma.

You will need to record and demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of each Tiling unit as well as demonstrating your practical Tiling skills. As such, any training centre delivering this Tiling award will need an abundance of space and both training and assessment areas for all of the Tiling units.

We have 3000 sq ft in which to teach you Tiling, classrooms for studying and computer suites for your online Tiling exam. Our Tiling Centre is fully operational and equipped with up to date Tiling equipment, large training areas and large Assessment areas. We have devised our Training Centre to fit in with the reality requirements of this Diploma.

The Wall and Floor Tiling Diploma has been introduced to ensure that any candidate is provided with as much knowledge of Tiling as is possible.

Any candidate completing a Tiling Diploma will find themselves entirely ready for building site employment, not just practically but also with essential knowledge relating to carrying out safe working practices, communicating with others, knowledge of building methods and construction technology.

All of the staff who will be delivering this Tiling training are qualified to both City & Guilds and CAA requirements. They are all qualified to teach, assess and verify each aspect of the Tiling Diploma, which ensures that every stage you go through is done here, on site at Able Skills, guaranteeing consistency to help you achieve your goal.

Individually, each Tiling member of staff has a vast array of knowledge from having previously spent years working within the Tiling industry. Please visit our staff page to see our Tiling Instructors.

This Tiling course is suitable for people who are not at this moment working in the Tiling industry and who would like to obtain the required Tiling qualification to work towards becoming a professional Tiler.

An important feature of the Wall and Floor Tiling Diploma is that it provides a progression route towards achieving a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in Tiling .

All Diploma units are related to their equivalent Tiling NVQ units and we will advise you what extra Tiling assessments are required to gain the related NVQ unit once you are working within the Tiling industry.

Construction Awards Alliance Level 2 Wall & Floor Tiling Diploma

This CAA Tiling Diploma will require 6 weeks of practical training and assessment. Completion of this Tiling Diploma will be determined by all of the following:

• Achievement of each Tiling unit by internal testing undertaken by your instructor. Each knowledge unit also has a mandatory series of Tiling questions and answers produced by CAA and managed by your instructor.
• Synoptic practical Tiling assignment set by CAA and controlled by your instructor. Successful completion of the assignment will be needed before the Tiling qualification can be completed.
• Online test covering the core Tiling units and the occupational units must be passed to achieve the Tiling qualification. The test will be an independent test of knowledge and understanding.

As you can see from the above, completion of this Tiling Diploma requires candidates to demonstrate knowledge and competence on both a practical and theory level and therefore to confirm this, candidates are required to record their understanding of the subject in detail.

This Tiling course will require you to undertake some research in order for you to record your understanding of tiling and related aspects but to help you with this we have put together a comprehensive tiling manual which will cover all of the knowledge units required to fully achieve this Tiling award.

This manual, along with practical Tiling training, demonstrations, ongoing guidance and advice will all help when you undertake your unit tests, final practical assessment and On-Line exam.

 The Units you must complete to achieve this Level 2 Plastering Diploma are:

• Know how to carry out safe working practices in construction
• Carry out safe working practices in construction
• Knowledge of information, quantities and communicating with others

The Construction Awards Alliance Level 2 Diploma in Wall & Floor Tiling is designed to develop your skills and knowledge, enabling you to work in the Tiling industry.

The Tiling Diploma has been specifically developed for delivery in a training environment using simulated conditions, and the Tiling assessment is based on you showing what you can do as an individual through the completion of all the requirements of the Tiling qualification.
All of the units of Tiling training must be completed by a candidate. All outcomes must be achieved during the Tiling training programme. Evidence from any previous site based assessment will not be accepted as contributing towards this Tiling Diploma.

Throughout your Tiling training time at Able Skills, we will cover all areas of Tiling. Health & Safety will be integral to all of the Tiling units so throughout your training time we will follow recognised working procedures and safe working practices.

You will be working with the correct tools for the job and using the required personal protective equipment. All finished work will be to required Tiling industry standards and within accepted tolerances. The working areas within the Tiling Centre will simulate reality to prepare you for all eventualities once you enter into the tiling industry.

This is a hands-on, practical Tiling course, it is therefore recommended you bring suitable clothing and for your own safety, steel capped footwear is essential. All tools, materials and essential PPE are provided throughout your training time at Able Skills.

I am very happy with the initial briefing to lessons and teaching phases. Instructors are very helpful and reliable to help at any time and any stage. The structure of the course is very effective, with a lot of practical work to improve your skills. The instructor is always to hand to support you if you come into difficulty. Fantasic course, I wish Able Skills a lot of success.

I found the Centre on the Internet, and after reading forums, Able Skills seemed the best. I took a 1 week tiling course with them and i learnt so much more than I expected. The Tutors were brilliant, the centre was 1^st Class. Value for money training and I will be attending other courses with them.

Chakrabahadur R

It was a very useful course, even though it was only 1 week. The instructors were able to deliver an extremely constructive lesson to achieve the students goal and needs. We had very sufficient materials and I can say that this is one of the best training centres around and instructors too.

Simon Richman

I just completed my 6 week plastering course and decided to take the one week introduction in tiling. I was made aware of many different types of wall and floor tiling. I was grateful for the advice and help from my instructors Max and Terry. Able Skills come highly recommended.

Fraser G – 5 Day Intensive Tiling Course

I was researching centres that were on the army resettlement course database.  I emailed a couple of centres to request some additional information and Able Skills came straight back to me (others took over a week!).  Funding went smoothly as Able Skills are an approved centre for resettlement.  Tuition was great, allowing me to make my own mistakes and rectifying them myself.  The speed of training was ideal and the course instils confidence in your abilities.
