Additional Info

If you are still unsure if plastering is the career of your choice, why not try our 5 day Introductory Plastering course first. This will help you decide if you want to progress to a qualification and a career in Plastering.

This is a hands-on, practical plastering course and you will be involved at every stage and will be participating throughout. It is therefore recommended you bring suitable clothing and for your own safety, steel capped footwear is essential.
