This course combines practical sessions working in our plastering bays with theory lessons to help develop your underpinning knowledge of the skills required to be a successful plasterer and to develop your understanding of the construction industry. In theory lessons, your understanding of health and safety in the workplace will be developed. You will be taught about construction technology and the importance of communication on a site. While in the workshops, you will learn to form different types of screed and plaster materials. Your theory classes will help you to understand how to calculate mixtures for different materials. In our plastering bays, you will develop your skills using a range of materials, as well as continuing to develop basic skills such as plastering onto stud partitions and applying render materials to external surfaces. You will also start to work on more complex forms of plastering skills including patching, cornice work mouldings and fibrous plaster components. Our Plastering Team maintain strong links with various employers and works closely with British Gypsum and Weber who supply materials and site visits. You will have the opportunity to compete in the regional Skill Build competition with previous students going on to compete at the national level.
Level 1 relevant vocational qualification and GCSE English and maths grade 2. If you have an EHCP then please be aware that the college needs to have agreed, via the consultation period with your local authority, that we can meet the needs outlined in your EHCP before you can start on a course with us.
This course has both practical assessments and exams. You will be set projects to complete as a practical assessment. Exams are a mixture of online multiple-choice questions and paper-based written assessments.
