Able Skills offers a variety of qualification plastering courses so if you decide that you would like to receive additional training to cover more areas of internal and external plastering you have a choice of a City & Guilds Accredited Plastering Course, a NVQ Level 2 Plastering Course or even a City & Guilds level 2 Diploma qualification.

Additional Info

All tools and materials will be supplied for you during the course and if after having spent a week with us plastering on this course you decide to upgrade to achieve one of the above listed recognised plastering qualifications, we will adjust your training time and fees to accommodate for the 5 day plastering course you have completed.

This Assured Introductory Plastering course is also available at weekends. 2 consecutive weekends will be allocated to complete the course. The content differs slightly as the area that you will be working in is already boarded out for you to compensate for the day that is lost.

This course can be quite a messy course so please bring suitable clothing and for your own safety, steel capped footwear is essential.
