Course description
Whilst Harry Enfield's character might have rather unfairly portrayed plasterers at the time, good plasterers do make good money. We will give you the tools to become a good plasterer. As a trained plasterer you could work on housing sites, city developments, domestic extensions and conservatories, new work, conversions or repairs. You might want the security of site work or possibly branch out on your own, become self employed and start your own business. Plastering also has the additional advantage that much of the work is indoors and therefore little time is lost due to bad weather. On the Diploma course, along with developing your practical skills you will learn a variety of subjects including - * the various materials and their uses including fibrous work * technical drawing * calculating materials * estimating * communications in construction
