Course overview

Complete this apprenticeship qualification with TAFE Queensland to become a qualified wall and floor tiler. According the the Australian Government's Job Outlook service, wall and floor tilers are currently a skill in demand with employers finding it hard to fill vacancies. There's likely to be around 9,000 job openings in this occupation over the next five years with employers looking for people who are reliable, hardworking, and work well in a team.

In this course you will learn how to lay ceramic, clay, slate, marble, glass and other types of tiles on external and internal walls and floors.
