If you wanted to learn to become a plasterer how would you do it where would you learn I have done a google search and it brought up loads of courses but don't know what they are worth would they be enough to practise your new skill and earn money for it hope this makes sense

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

Hi Poppy

Contact your local college - even Sixth Form colleges if there are any in your area, and they will be able to give you the best recognised qualification there is.

Have you every done any plastering? If not, see whether you would actually like the task by seeking out a course aimed at DIY-ers. If that works, you can progress to a more professional course and get properly qualified. To make a living doing plastering, you would need to get proper insurance and an insurer would want you to be qualified. To widen your experience from that available to you in the "classroom", see whether friends would let you work for them - perhaps just paying for the materials to start with.

Great idea - post your question on the In your home board. nelly is a plasterer and he posts there quite a lot - he's really helpful. :T

Wish he lived near me - could do with a plasterer!
