Train as a tiler at the AFPA

Automatic translation

The AFPA or National Association for the Professional Training of Adults is a French organization which offers various training courses to young people, students, jobseekers, employees and companies. It works closely with Pôle Emploi and other public bodies and aims to support the development of each participant while intervening in skills management and professional integration. For the tiler profession, here is the AFPA offer.

The offer

Do you want to become or convert to a tiler? The AFPA offers you a qualifying training of about 6 months. Here, the objective is threefold. You are taught to master both the laying of ceramic tiles glued to the floor and wall, the laying of traditional screeds and the sealed laying of ceramic tiles.
The training includes 630 hours in the center and 140 hours in the company, and is divided into several blocks of skills and modules. At the end of the last module, the learner can access the level 3 professional title of tiler, in particular a CAP or a BEP.
But before that, he can obtain partial qualifications which appear in the form of certificates of professional skills, including: the CCP which corresponds to skill block 1 (Carry out the laying glued to the floor and to the wall of ceramic tiles) and the CCP which corresponds in skill block 2 (Making traditional screeds and sealing ceramic tiles).

The program and benefits

It is useful to note that the qualifying tiler training offered by the AFPA does not focus solely on laying tiles. The transversal modules which last 70 hours cover interesting and important subjects.
Among others, it is worth mentioning the modules for gender equality, sustainable development, support for learning and support for employment. Then there are also the digital skills, BIM and FEE bat Parois Opaques modules.
In other words, participants can therefore benefit from complete training if they opt for this offer. They may have the skills, know-how and qualities necessary to properly and effectively practice the trade of tile setter.
They may even have good experience in the field, since business practices take place between the different skill blocks. So they can directly apply what they have learned in theory.
After the tiler training, it is finally possible to opt for additional training which allows access to level 4 and hope for better career development.
