Tiler

This is an ideal career for a creative thinker. As a tiler, you lay different types of tiles on floors and walls to provide a protective and decorative finish. You may use either ceramic, slate, marble, or stone to achieve the required finish of the job. Your role may sometimes extend to advising clients on design and structural aspects of the job.

Education Qualifications

To become a tiler you will usually need to complete an apprenticeship in general construction (wall and floor tiling). An employer will generally require you to complete year 10 before employment. Your training is both on and off the job with off the job training being done at a registered training organisation such as TAFE.

The entry criteria for tertiary institiutions differs from year to year. The above comments are a guide only. To gain specific entry criteria either contact the relevant university or use Hobson's The Good University Guide.
