Studying the Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling at Holmesglen
Much of wall and floor tiling work is straightforward, but it often requires skill and judgement. You must understand working drawings of buildings and be able to apply basic mathematics.
Wall and floor tilers also do more complicated tiling work such as mosaics, pools and spas. These jobs require training, ability and experience. As a wall and floor tiler, you can work on commercial and domestic projects.
Your work is an art form that will stand for many years, and your skills will be in demand.
