Welcome to Able Skills 5 day Intensive Plastering Courses

If you need to learn to plaster, Able Skills can provide you with a comprehensive 5 day introduction to plastering which will ensure that you finish your training with the confidence to tackle your required plastering jobs.

Our 5 day Intensive Plastering Course will provide you with a great insight and understanding of plastering whether you are a total beginner or have some previous plastering experience.

Able Skills Plastering  Centre comes complete with 3 time served and qualified instructors, designated areas for those of you who are receiving introductory plastering training, dedicated assessment areas for qualification students, designated dry lining department and every plastering tool you could ever need.

If you set out with the intention of attending purely for the purposes of DIY then you will not be disappointed; this plastering course will meet your expectations and you will be ready to give that plastering project a go.

At the same time, if you have a desire to move onto a plastering qualification, then this will also act as your underpinning knowledge to move forward when you are ready.

The principles of plastering will be taught in a hands on fashion and the areas we cover are also units within Nationally recognised City & Guilds awards and CAA Construction Awards, so if you do decide to progress at a later date, this short plastering course will stand you in good stead and could act as historical evidence and/or job knowledge.

We are not claiming to make you a qualified Plasterer in 5 days but we do promise to provide you with dedicated plastering training and an excellent opportunity to progress further if you want.

Our 5 day plastering courses will act as a great basis for work within the plastering industry but we do recommend that you consider additional training if you want to sustain a long term career as a Plasterer.

We try to make all training as accessible as possible to everyone so if you have weekly commitments but would still like to learn to plaster, we offer plastering training over 2 consecutive weekends.

After having spent a week with us plastering on an intensive course you may decide to upgrade to a City & Guilds or NVQ option, this is a 5 or 7 week training option and will provide you with recognised plastering qualifications.

If you decide to upgrade, we will adjust your training time and fees to accommodate for the 5 day plastering course completed. Whether you do decide to upgrade or not, the week spent with us will not have been wasted as you will have gained a great deal of practical knowledge.

Additionally, if you would like to learn that little bit more about plastering, but do not want to commit to a qualification, we offer a 5 day Advanced Plastering Course, this is also available over weekends.

Monday to Friday OR Saturday and Sunday
