Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling
Program COde: BCG31303
Brief description of course and work roles
The Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling develops the skills needed to work as a qualified tiler.
Wall and floor tilers generally fix wall and floor tiles, carry out mosaic and decorative tiling and tile curved surfaces.
Tilers lay ceramic, clay, slate, marble, glass and other types of tiles on external and internal walls and floors to create protective and decorative finishes. Much of the work takes place on new buildings, including houses, shops, commercial offices, factories and swimming pools, but wall and floor tilers also carry out renovations on existing buildings.

Short-listed applicants will need to complete a literacy and numeracy assessment as part of the selection procedure as well as a Skills Assessment Program, which will help APTC staff determine your level within the Australian qualification system.
