qualification in plastering

[ste1406]

i did a short course last january and have been doing jobs since then with my brother in law who does plastering for a living. he completed his nvq level 2 last year. i have got quite good at plastering and would like to pursue it further. does anyone know any courses where you can gain a qualification in plastering when it is not your occupation (i work in an office but would like to plaster full time) as it seems impossible to get a recognised qualification if you are not already in the trade.

Able Skills (can find them on google) have courses that can be done at weekends for beginner and advance courses. You can also do a further 6 week course over a period of 18 months to get a recognised qualification -perhaps you could do it in your holiday time?!

I haven't tried the course myself, so can't comment on the quality.

i've done the beginner course at ableskills which is pritty good if your a complete novice, i can now skim to a decent finish. But if i were you i'd sign up to your local college and get a C&G qualification, my college does it every sat 8-1 for a year
