Course Overview
This course aims to build on the skills taught through the 101 and Intermediate courses. Delegates will be left to their own devices to analyse the advanced bay and work towards dry-lining and skimming as required to a professional finish. The advanced bay represents a more much larger realistic sized room and obstacles seen in real life.
A tutor will always be present for safety guidance, encouragement and any help needed but working alone and problem solving is encouraged.
Delegates must have one or all of the below:
• Completed the Intermediate Plastering course
• Completed the Intermediate Plastering+ course
• Have sufficient on the job experience and require further/continued practice
Delegates are required to have a certain level of strength and fitness as dry-lining and plastering demands. E.g. to be able to work as a team of at least two to handle a bag of plaster to be able to mix it, lift plaster boards sometimes above their head and work for approximately 2 hours straight with limited breaks/downtime.
Successful delegates will have the practical skills and confidence to progress on to a career in plastering.
On successful completion of this course, delegates will receive a discount on purchasing Makita power tools from Data Power tools in Cardiff or Swansea. They will also receive a discount voucher for Marshall Town tools SB Tools online.
