With housebuilding a huge topic in the UK right now, more and more houses are being planned in all corners on the country. This will require more workers and the way new houses are built means Plasterers are needed in large numbers. Becoming a Plasterer could be a very smart and rewarding career move in the current climate of the construction industry.
To become a qualified Plasterer here at Able Skills we have various courses to get you started. Depending on which route you want to take into the industry to become a qualified Plasterer, will depend which course will be right for you.
If you are looking to get qualified and carry out work in domestic properties, then the City & Guilds Plastering course would be the perfect option. This is an intensive practical course to give you all the necessary skills to go out and work as a Plasterer.
However, we understand that as an adult learner, training for so many weeks straight isn’t always easy. Therefore, our flexible learning options are extremely popular. The time of plastering training can be split up into separate weeks to suit your diary. Alternatively, we also offer this course at weekends. When training at weekends we operate on a two weekends on, two weekends off basis.
However, not everyone is here to get the skills to just work on domestic properties. Some people come to our centre with the goal of working on-site as a qualified Plasterer. However, to be able to work on-site you will need to have a CSCS Skilled workers card. You can only get one of these once you have achieved an NVQ. We over the perfect NVQ course that will get you to where you need to be, and this is the NVQ Level 2 Plastering Course.
This course involves eight weeks of practical and assessments and then to finalise the NVQ you will need to have two assessments on-site carried out by our NVQ assessors.
Opportunities as a Plasterer are out there in the industry and now could be the best time to make a start on a new career. It is never too late to try something new and you never know you might love it.
