Wall and Floor Tiler Skills Assessment Australia

If you want to move to Australia as a Wall and Floor Tiler on a skilled (points based) visa you are required to complete the Wall and Floor Tiler skills assessment. But, if you do not hold an NVQ Level 3 as a Wall and Floor Tiler, then you must first complete the Wall and Floor Tiling AQF III, so you can then move on to obtain your Australian skills assessment.

For the Wall and Floor Tiling AQF III, you prove your skills through detailed statements from employers detailing your duties, pay and tax details for when you were working as a Wall and Floor Tiler, detailed CV showing all training and work experience, photos of your skills, videos displaying your expertise and your qualifications.

The second stage is a technical interview with an Australian qualified Wall and Floor Tiler who is also a qualified trainer and assessor; this is a relaxed chat over Skype or Zoom where the assessor will want to discuss your application and ask about your work as a Wall and Floor Tiler.

To apply for the Wall and Floor Tiler skills assessment, you need to either;

• Hold an NVQ Level 3 as a Wall and Floor Tiler and have 3 years of paid work experience post NVQ Level 3 as a Wall and Floor Tiler;
• Or if you do not hold an NVQ Level 3, then you will need to obtain the AQF Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling and prove 6 years of full-time paid work experience as a Wall and Floor Tiler, so you can then move forward to apply for the Wall and Floor Tiler skills assessment.

If you have a UK qualification as a Wall and Floor Tiler and do not need the AQF III for the visa, then you may want to consider still obtaining the AQF as this will help when you are looking for Wall and Floor Tiler jobs in Australia.
