Course Overview
The plastering industry continues to grow, and so does interest in our plastering course. This course has practical lessons based in our workshops and plastering bays and theory lessons to provide you with the skills required to learn your chosen trade.
Theory lessons will cover the health and safety regulations in the workplace and how you need to apply them to your workstations and the wider building environment. To be successful in the building trade, you need to understand the importance of planning and communicating across teams, which you will be taught in theory lessons.
Working in our plastering bays, you will learn how to prepare a background, apply plaster to various backgrounds and produce components from moulds. Getting your plaster mix right is key and you will be taught the calculations required to get your mix just right for different materials.
This course is supported by strong employer links, with British Gypsum and Webber providing supplies for the course and talks to our students. You will have the opportunity to apply to compete in the regional Skill Build competition with previous students competing at national level.
