In-school training rangesfrom 12 weeks to 16 weeks.• In all provinces, training is delivered through colleges. Upgrade training, and in some instances,apprenticeship; training, is delivered by union locals.• The trade is appenticable in all provinces.Occupational or Professional Regulation:• The trade is certifiable, but voluntary in 5 provinces and compulsory in Quebec. The trade isapprenticeable in only 4 provinces. (The trade is not recognized in Ontario.)• The trade is a red seal designated trade.Key Skills unique to the Built Heritage Sector:• ability to clean, repair and re-install broken tiles,• ability to re-polish installed marble and terrazzo.Associations or Administrative Bodies concerned with Professional orOccupational Standards, Licensing or Certification:• Trade certification is provincially administered.

In the absence of a certified trade, skills are acquired through ad hocexperience. The nature of the market is such that ceramic tilesetting skills will be generally available, butmore specialized skills, such as marble, terrazzo and quarry tile working skills may be in short supply.©CULTURAL HUMAN RESOURCES COUNCIL103
