Assessment
Advanced Plastering
Description
This course aims to build on the skills taught through the 101 and Intermediate courses. Delegates will be left to their own devices to analyse the advanced bay and work towards dry-lining and skimming as required to a professional finish. The advanced bay represents a more much larger realistic sized room and obstacles seen in real life.
A tutor will always be present for safety guidance, encouragement and any help needed but working alone and problem solving is encouraged.
Progression Opportunities
Successful delegates will have the practical skills and confidence to progress on to a career in plastering.
On successful completion of this course, delegates will receive a discount on purchasing Makita power tools from Data Power tools in Cardiff or Swansea. They will also receive a discount voucher for Marshall Town tools SB Tools online.
