Put your skills to use and become a specialist in the wall and floor tiling trade.

This sought-after trade qualification is suited to someone with an eye for detail and creativity. Tilers work in both the domestic and commercial sectors. You will use a variety of skills to install tiles and natural stone products.

TasTAFE will work with your employer to provide you with the required skills.

You will also learn how to work as part of a team and to plan and organise your work.

You will then use wall and floor tiling tools and equipment to prepare a variety of surfaces and apply tiles to them.

A strong workplace health and safety culture will additionally help to prepare you for the challenges of a work site.

This qualification is offered as an Australian Apprenticeship and requires you to be employed by a suitable industry-specific employer. You will attend scheduled campus-based training during your employment.
