Time for a new career? Consider Tiling courses

With the country on lockdown, you may be at home considering what to do once we are back to normality. Tiling has always been an excellent trade to get involved with. Always in demand, tiling is an honest way to make a living and is a perfect opportunity for somebody looking to take their lifestyle into their own hands as this trade is often worked on a self-employed basis! Here at Able Skills, we can help you to gain the hands-on practical skills and an insight into the industry with our tiling courses. Our 6-week City & Guilds Tiling Course, for example, will teach you to become a timer from scratch!

What's next?

Upon completion of this course, you may be looking to achieve an NVQ or National Vocational Qualification. We have Able Skills assessors in place that can conduct the two on-site visits needed for the completion of an NVQ. An NVQ will be needed if you plan to work on sites such as construction sites and generally outside of a domestic property, such as residential construction and so on. With the requirement for all site workers to hold Experienced Worker cards or Skilled Worker cards, the need for experienced tradesmen to gain NVQs has never been more important. Without the right qualification, you will be unable to gain access to site to undertake your work as a Tiler.
