COURSE

OVERVIEW

This course combines practical sessions working in our plastering bays with theory lessons to help develop your underpinning knowledge of the skills required to be a successful plasterer and to develop your understanding of the construction industry.
In our plastering bays, you will develop your skills using a range of materials, as well as continuing to develop basic skills such as plastering on to stud partitions and applying render materials to external surfaces. You will also start to work on more complex forms of plastering skills including patching, cornice work and mouldings and fibrous plaster components.
In theory lessons, your understanding of health and safety in the workplace will be developed. You will be taught about construction technology and the importance of communication on a site. While in the workshops, you will learn to form different types of screed and plaster materials. Your theory classes will help to understand how to calculate mixtures for different materials.
Our Plastering Team maintain strong links with the various employers and work closely with British Gypsum and Weber who supply materials and site visits. You will have the opportunity to compete in regional Skill Build competition with previous students going on to compete at national level.
