4 Week Plastering Course Content
Below is a summary of what is covered during our 4 week Plastering Course. Every group is different so timings may change but we will cover these contents during the course. (If you attend the first 2 weeks at our trainig centre in Willenhall - the first two weeks will be the same as our standard 10 day plastering course).
Everyday we will have a review of the previous days work and throughout the day we will discuss theory relating to what we are covering. We will discuss most of the theory in the practical training area as it is easier to explain with demonstrations and displays. We will also discuss pricing work whilst we are carrying out the individual tasks.
We will supply all tools and materials throughout the training.
Please feel free to call into the training centre whllst a course is running and speak with the tutors and learners. If possible visit towards the end of the course as you will then be able to see the standard of work that has been acheived by the learners on the course and you will be able to talk to them about the course (if they feel they have wasted their time and money I am sure they will tell you that).
