"How much time need a tiler to be considered experienced" would that not depend on how much tiling had been done in that time?
Is it also not down to the individual? since some people can "pick things up instantly" and others take longer

People often want to see photos of work completed and if it’s a big job they may want to speak to a couple of customers to gauge how well, how quickly and how tidily the work in progress was done .

Plastering, Painting and decorating and now tiling ???

All of them take time to learn and all of them involve some heavy lifting. To become proficient in any trade requires training and dedication.

And not a little experience. There's a world of difference between putting in a 3 row tiled splashback behind a stand-alone cooker and tiling an uneven floor with oversize marble tile in a showroom, or tiling an entire shop floor.
