and qualified workforce to stimulate the market by providing a route to qualification for experienced operatives via on-site assessment.
TTA gives full support to the assessors both during the training process and throughout the EWPAR/OSAT assessment of experienced operatives.
TTA is also promoting a CITB grant scheme, designed to support smaller tiling companies with the start-up costs involved in taking on a new apprentice - for example the cost of recruitment and associated start-up costs. Under the scheme tiling companies can apply for a grant of £500 if they meet the eligibility conditions.
TTA also runs a variety of short courses and technical seminars. These may be linked to the publication of
a new technical document or to a product trend in the market, such as the series of training sessions on Large Format Tiling which ran during 2019.
TTA’s commitment to training can be seen also in the growing number of colleges in all parts of the UK which have signed up as TTA members. These colleges offer a variety of courses, including City & Guilds Level 1 and 2, as well as shorter Taster and Beginner courses.
