Tiling course

Tiling can be a great skill to add to one’s repertoire, for both experienced tradespeople from other fields, and those who have never learned a trade in the past. It could certainly greatly bolster your employability – but it’s also true that trying to make the right choice from all the tiling courses out there can be challenging. 

So, why should you seriously consider our own NOCN Cskills 10-day Level 1 accredited Wall and Floor Tiling course here at YTA in West Yorkshire? 

The short answer is that this course is an excellent one for teaching you the essentials of tiling, so that you can develop your knowledge and competence in this trade to show to potential employers or customers. It will also enable you to gain a unit certificate for the units that this course consists of. 

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this 10-day course a standout among the various other tiling courses on the market. 

The key details about this highly rated 10-day tiling course 

This tiling course is, significantly, a NOCN CSkills (Construction Skills) course. NOCN Cskills was formerly CITB Cskills, with this being the renowned awarding body for construction NVQs. 

So, you can be sure of reputability from this training course. But it is also a highly suitable course from a more practical, career-minded standpoint, with the units in question providing vital Level 1 tuition in Tiling A Wall With Decorative Features (Square Tiles) and Tiling A Floor With Obstacles. 

To complete the course, you will need to complete 10 days of training, which – if this would suit your practical needs better – can be separated into split dates at no extra cost. 

Once you have successfully passed the course, you will be set up nicely to continue to NVQ Level 2 training, and to build a tiling career. 

Now, let’s take a look at what each week of the course comprises. 

• Week 1

The first week of the course effectively takes the form of a five-day tiling course, and is organised as follows:

Monday focuses on health and safety, before paying close attention to the preparation of surfaces and the setting-out of kitchen tiling. Tuesday will be about polishing off the previous day’s work, and using silicone heating to complete a tiled kitchen. Students will then look at tiling to and around windows.

Wednesday will see Tuesday’s work completed, before students will have the chance to learn about tile adhesives and grouts for a variety of situations. We will also be explaining tiling tools and tiling tool kits to you at this stage. 

Over the course of Wednesday and Thursday, you will learn about tiling a bathroom, which leaves Friday as the day when you will prepare, set out and tile the bathroom floor.

• Week 2

The second week will begin with the tiling of a kitchen, but with a diamond splashback going up to a funnel. Further content during this week will cover windows, wet rooms, and bathrooms. 

You will finish this week tiling a bathroom floor, and learning about installing underfloor heating before tiling on it. Any final questions will also be asked, and certificates presented. 

In addition, during this course as a whole, students will find out about such things as marketing a tiling business, insurance, tax, CSCS cards, and more. It will all help equip you to make a success out of your subsequent tiling career.

Whether you’ve always wanted to improve your tiling skills, would like to take on a tiling career, or are an existing tradesperson wishing to add tiling to your skill set, there are plenty of reasons to take a look at our extensive range of tiling courses here at YTA. 

 

The skill of tiling walls and floors in such settings as kitchens, bathrooms and hotels remains a hugely in-demand one, and experienced tilers can earn as much as £38,000 a year. It’s certainly not a trade that will diminish in its relevance anytime soon, so it’s no wonder so many people are continuing to enquire about tiling courses like ours! 

 

But surely, you couldn’t possibly expect to learn that much about tiling in just five days at our training centre? Take on our 5-day Cskills tiling Level 1 unit course, and you might just be very surprised by how thoroughly we prepare you for life as a professional tiler. 

 

A typical tiler’s working week, condensed into one course 

 

It is important to understand that our 5-day NOCN Cskills Level 1 unit tiling course does not, by itself, give you a full Level 1 qualification – you’ll need to enrol on our 10-day course for that. However, the certification you will receive on passing this course will be either the NOCN Cskills Level 1 Wall Tiling unit accreditation, or the NOCN Cskills Level 1 Floor Tiling unit accreditation. 

 

Even such a unit accreditation on its own can be invaluable for showing future potential customers or employers that you have reached a certain level of competence in the tiling trade. 

 

But this particular tiling course isn’t just designed to give you a useful certificate! That’s because it’s also been structured to resemble the kind of working week you might be able to expect if you do become a day-to-day tiling professional, as significant numbers of our students go on to do. 

 

From the setting out of walls and floors and surface preparation, right through to the actual tiling of a kitchen splashback, bathroom wall or floor, and even cutting around obstacles and the use of adhesives and grouts, there’s a huge amount to learn about tiling. 

 

If you’re looking for tiling courses that can introduce you to these skills even if you’re a complete beginner, this 5-day course is an excellent choice. But don’t worry if you do have some skills already, as we can tailor the course if needed for you, to ensure you don’t waste time on the course simply repeating what you can already do.
