Student Tiling

This hands-on course is designed for school leavers who want to take the next step towards a career in the construction industry, with a focus on tiling. It builds on the foundational knowledge and skills developed in the Level 1 Diploma, helping you develop the practical abilities and workplace readiness that employers are looking for.
