Nice relaxed atmosphere and the tutors are brilliant at what they do – Jason Griffiths
The actual practising skimming on the first day was a positive intro. Nice friendly environment, good size bays to plaster in and very professional looking website with good course info. There is a similar course closer to home but this looked better – Barry Lever
Excellent facilities with endless amounts of materials to use. Everyone works as a team across all courses – Nicholas Warrington
Well organised course, excellent tutor. This is a great place to learn construction skills – Andrew Berry
It’s not too big and group sizes are appropriate because you get more 1:1 tie with tutor. Brill course learnt a lot – Jake Lee
Very good environment for teaching, layout, practical bays to work in. Tutors have vast expert knowledge and use this wisely when teaching. Great course looking forward to the next two over the coming months – Jason Kent
For me the whole course was interesting and useful and there wasn’t a day when I wasn’t still learning… The staff are friendly and helpful. John Brotherston,

The most interesting/useful part of the course was learning different techniques associated with the trade and valuable skills that I will use in the real world.

I extremely liked the professionalism from start (enquiring about courses) to the end (actually attending and completing the plastering course). All the staff are extremely friendly and very helpful.

My entire experience has been excellent from the first few minutes. The tutor (Howard) was excellent and as well as his excellent communication skills, superb knowledge and his very upbeat attitude to teaching. I would recommend this training facility to anyone.

Great environment, excellent tuition, flexible enough to accommodate different standards and learning styles. Excellent post course support offered.

Great course and many thanks to Howard and Donna for her help. Roger Pearson

I enjoyed learning a new trade and understanding the work involved. Gaining advice from experienced tutors. Miss Dargan
David, I finished the five day plastering course at the Willenhall centre on the 10th of February. Although I did complete the post course paperwork I feel that the instructor involved with the tuition deserves a pat on the back. I am currently employed as an instructor at RAF Cosford teaching mainly theory type subjects, I realise that when a student is given a course critique it is very easy to concentrate on the negatives and forget any good things. However, I must complement Rob Jones on a very well delivered week of instruction. The pace of the days were such that there was plenty of time to put into practice the skills and techniques demonstrated by Rob, everyone involved in the week were at varying levels of competency, yet he was able to constantly jump around the group and advise or correct each individuals mistakes. The demonstrations were well delivered without being too complicated and he always had an approachable manner, I have been instructing for six years now and was very impressed with the enthusiasm Rob showed towards the subject and the delivery of it. I would appreciate it if you could relay my comments to all concerned and especially to Rob. Thanks G Owen, Sgt instructor
It is clear that feedback plays an important role in monitoring and evaluating services and I reviewed a large number of feedback questionnaires and analyses which confirmed that you collect feedback and all showed high levels of satisfaction. Extract from Matrix Assessment Report
The course was well planned out and very interesting. I gained the skills and confidence to plaster. Mr Coomer
I feel that I have learned a valuable new skill which will help me in my own home. I will recommend this course because it has really increased my confidence and I have enjoyed myself. Ms Beckett-Davies
I am fully confident in my skills since starting from scratch – the course was well instructed and 100% hands on. It was a great course and would definitely recommend it to others and would do another course in another area e.g. bricklaying. Mr Fairs,
Thought the tutor was very approachable and knowledgeable about the subject taught. Very helpful in overcoming problems and building confidence. Found the course very enjoyable and will miss it now I’ve finished. Sheila Nunn
Before the course I had no positive thought that I would be able to plaster to a ‘reasonable’ standard. I feel that I can now achieve my goal of plastering my property confidently. Mr Cartwright
Good coverage of all aspects of basic plastering. I could not believe that after 5 days I can skim a wall, skim a ceiling and make good holes, to a high standard. Mr Williamson
My whole house requires plastering after completing this course, I feel very confident to plaster my house to a good standard. Very experienced tutor who puts things across so they are easy to understand. Whenever you have a question or need him to check anything he was always available. Excellent course, didn’t think I would be able to plaster but now I feel very confident.
Having 2 kitchen studios it was very valuable in fully understanding the plastering jobs we undertake on a weekly basis. I did not think at the start of the week I could get plaster on the walls, never mind plaster a room. Thank you to the tutor for a very enjoyable and informative week. Mr Jones
I learned a lot in one week – it’s amazing what you can achieve having the right help. All tools were provided with plenty of them so no need to share. You also had your own tools to take away with you. The info which the tutor told was clear and helpful. I think the course was very good in every way. The layout of the place was excellent, tutors are polite and always on hand to help. I would attend another course knowing what you achieve. Mr Beardmore
I found this course to be just what I needed to obtain these skills very helpful for my needs. The tutor never stopped teaching and advising all week – very good. I couldn’t fault this course. It is very good in my estimation. Thank you. Mr Colclough,

Cannot fault the tutor – outstanding knowledge. The course exceeded my expectations – I thought it was a gimmick on the net and in the paper but turned out to be well worth it. Mr Jootton
Learned an unbelievable amount in 2 weeks. 2 weeks was perfect – got all the basics. Week 2 put it all together. Mr Woolloff
An invaluable course to DIY or anyone wanting go into their own business. Great course, excellent instructor. Mr Hopkin
The course was well structured and aimed at the right level for the complete novice. The time was just right and I gained a vast amount of hands on knowledge in just 5 days. I will definitely recommend this course – well planned. Mr Hutchinson
