Intensive Plastering Courses
Qualification Frameworks:
Construction Awards Alliance
City & Guilds
These courses are designed to take a complete novice to the point where he or she is competent at plastering or rendering.
SuperSkills Plastering Courses are available as stand-alone, non-qualification programmes or as part of your progression to City & Guilds Plastering Qualifications and an NVQ in plastering.
Whether you want to learn a trade skill, start up a business, change your career or repair or renovate your home, SuperSkills Plastering Training Courses will provide you with all the skills you require.
SuperSkills Construction Training never offer courses on a "one size fits all" basis. Every client is treated individually - their personal training requirements are planned into the programme. All our instructing staff are accredited NVQ Assessors and deliver the training in accordance with the National NVQ Codes of Practice.
That's why we can give a "no quibble" guarantee - If at the end of your plastering course, you are not completely satisfied - we will give you your money back! Before you ask - no, we have never been asked to refund a course fee. That's how satisfied our customers are!
The course will include:
- learning about plastering tools and materials
- working safely and speedily
- selecting the right materials
- marking and measuring
- cutting plasterboard to size
- using the correct fixings for particular surfaces
- fixing boards to ceiling, walls, windows and corners
- cutting and fixing angle-bead
- taping and jointing
- effective use of adhesives
- mixing materials correctly
- applying bonding coats
- applying plaster finishes
- repairing and patching damaged walls
- rendering techniques
During your plastering course you will gain knowledge about using a number of tools and how they assist your work as a plasterer:
- Mixers
- Power Tools - including 110 volt systems
- Hawk
- Steel Floating Trowel
- Gauging Trowel
- Plastic Floating Trowel
- Hammers and Chisels
- Internal Angle Trowel
- Straight Edge
- Trimming Knife
- Tape Measure
- Saw
- Tin Snips
By the end of this five day intensive course you will have plaster boarded and skimmed the equivalent area of a bedroom and over-skimmed the same area.
You will have learned how to apply beading to external corners, the best way to plaster internal corners and how to get a really good finish on difficult surfaces.
You will also have repaired holes and cement rendered a wall. The step-by-step approach we adopt will ensure you understand each of the tools used, the properties of various materials and the techniques required to achieve a quality result.
If you are taking the course as part of a City & Guilds qualification, the necessary evidence required to support your achievements will be recorded and placed in your portfolio.
Like all SuperSkills training - if you are not completely satisfied at the end of your course - we will give you your money back!
After your plastering course, you will be able to access unlimited support, free of charge, to make sure you can deal with any problems you encounter. All you have to do is call and we will talk you through the problem.
You will be able to plaster - and many people have gone straight from our five day course to start earning their living. However, we never claim to turn people into fully qualified plasterers in such a short time. Our clients who are developing a business based on our training tend to return for further training on our advanced programmes and complete all the units of accreditation to complete their City & Guilds qualification.
Please note - there is a real difference between training providers like SuperSkills, which is accredited by the construction industry's awarding bodies, inspected by Ofsted and contracted to provide training by the Skills Funding Agency, the Department for Work & Pensions and our local secondary schools - and the small providers who make claims about their training that simply do not bear scrutiny.
The standards we have to maintain to reach this position set SuperSkills Construction Training apart from its competitors and give all our customers real confidence our service is of the highest quality.
Unless you have been a plasterer for at least five years - which qualifies you to be assessed for NVQ's through practical assessment - a service SuperSkills is accredited to provide, you cannot get an NVQ unless you are assessed in the workplace. No short course will result in National Vocational Qualifications. If you require further information about Plastering NVQ's, click here.
When you are selecting a construction skills training provider, ask which awarding bodies they are accredited by. Only then can you be sure that you are choosing one that is subject to external quality assurance to make sure they deliver plastering courses to construction industry training standards. Make sure you ask if they can match the SuperSkills "no quibble" guarantee!
