tiling licence

[Guest edenfieldpoms]

Hi,

 

My OH is a self employed tiler with no formal qualifications, does he need to get a licence to work? How does he go about getting this and does he need any nvq's to get the licence?

 

thanks in advance

Not sure about tiling although I think officially you need a licence to be self employed in any trade. I know for painting and decorating the licence process involves statements from past employers, customers etc that vouch for your work etc, the nvq's probably wouldn't come into it but again I'd check. Try the Master Builders of SA on South Terrace for info and the Government Consumer and Business Services website. I think the whole thing can take a while, in the meantime I'd just crack on as hardly anyone really asks anyway, just make sure he's covered for public liability.

He can work for someone without a licence but if he goes self employed he needs a licence to work.He would need to do a course to apply for his licence and show some kind of proof he is able to carry work out. He will be taken in for an interview where they will ask him how he would go about doing diffrent types of work from how to screed to falls,, waterproofing,caulking, regs etc.
