Weekend Plastering Courses
Welcome to Able Skills Introductory and Advanced Weekend Plastering Courses
At Able Skills we prefer to be able to give everybody the opportunity to learn a new skill which is why we are open 7 days every week. Those of you who are unavailable to train through the week are given the opportunity to train at weekends to learn to plaster.
Both our Introductory Plastering course and Advanced Plastering courses are available over two consecutive weekends per course and are taught by Spencer and Jo.
These are hands-on, practical courses and you will be involved at every stage and will be participating throughout the course. It is therefore recommended you bring suitable clothing and for your own safety, steel capped footwear is essential. All tools and materials will be provided throughout your training period.

Qualifications at Weekends
The C&G 5 Week Plastering Certificate is also available to those of you who can only train at weekends. You would need to attend for 8 weekends initially, this can sometimes be done on consecutive weekends but we always recommend a break, especially when you are working through the week.
After you have completed 8 weekends, you will need to commit to a 9 day period to complete the assessments which complete the award – This can be completed by starting on a Saturday and running 9 days straight to the following Sunday.
Payment options are attached to this training plan. If you have opted for the NVQ version of this award, an additional 5 weekends will be required after the 9 day block to cover the NVQ units.
