Career Changes come around and lots of people look to completely different career paths, Andy looking for a new plastering career.
Students come and go at Able Skills all the time and they attend our courses with their own reasons, whether it is to gain some skills for a personal project or to start a new career in the construction industry. Andy has just finished his plastering course with us at Able Skills and he couldn’t have asked for anything more. He is now very excited to start his new plastering career.
During 2016 Andy concluded that he wanted to change his career and that his career working in an office was due to come to an end. After a month of looking for ideas on how to start a new career, Andy finally came up with an idea to become a self-employed tradesman and start his own plastering business.
He found Able Skills through something a friend shared on Facebook. However, due to Andy living in Bristol and us being based in Dartford he wasn’t sure what to do, until he contacted us and found out that we had our own accommodation available.
Not long after, Andy was at Able Skills training at weekends on the Level 2 Plastering Diploma course. Thanks to the help of our plastering tutors, Jo and Spencer, Andy was able to get some fantastic tuition and is now ready to start his plastering career.
Training at weekends really helped Andy fit his training around his current working life. The weekend training option at Able Skills meant he could continue to work and raise the funds for the course and only be away from his family twice a week.
Andy is now ready to start his Plastering Career after completing his Level 2 Diploma.
Andy had this to say about his life changing course at Able Skills:
“I cannot thank everyone enough at Able Skills for what they have done for me to help me change my career. John was a fantastic help when I was booking the course, he really helped me understand the course a bit better. Everything from providing me with materials, tools, and areas to complete me theory work and exams. Finally, I must thank Jo and Spencer, without them two I don’t think I would be feeling so confident about going into the industry.”
Andy also was very pleased with his accommodation during his course, which was at a cost of £20 a night. Overall Andy was extremely pleased with his whole course and he is now ready to get out there and start his plastering career!
We would like to wish Andy the best of luck in his new career!
