As the UK economy continues its steady comeback from the lows of the coronavirus crisis, it’s fair to say that key construction skills like plastering will hardly become less important any time soon.
Our five-day practical plastering course is non-accredited and includes a YTA completion certificate. The ten-day Level 1 plastering route offers the stated NOCN Cskills unit accreditation, rather than a full Level 1 qualification.
What’s the big difference between our five-day and ten-day courses?
The ten-day Level 1 plastering route offers unit accreditation in the stated skills. It is distinct from both a full Level 1 qualification and an NVQ Level 2 assessment.
You might have some experience in another trade, and wish to enhance your skill-set by taking on a course centred on plastering. Or maybe you’re a complete beginner? Regardless, taking on a five-day or ten-day practical course at YTA’s West Yorkshire training centre could be one of the wisest decisions you ever make for your career.

Put yourself to the test – and bolster your capability and employability
Whichever course of these two you commit to, we will give you a set of plastering tools to use during the course, and your own full-size plastering training bay to learn your craft in. Plus, with only five plastering training bays being used, you can be sure of benefitting from the high level of tuition and attention made possible by a low student-to-teacher ratio.
Students of our five-day course will have plenty of opportunity to learn the basic technique of plastering, in addition to over-skimming and repairing plastering. They will also get to grips with feathering in and board fixing.
These elements will also be covered if you enrol on our full 10-day course, but in the second week, you’ll also get to tackle the plastering of a full wall and ceilings as a complete project. We’ll also teach you more advanced techniques, including the plastering of arches and curves. In addition, as one of our students, you’ll learn how to work with the increasingly popular K-Rend onto block work.
You’ll cover an awful lot of ground on one of our intensive plastering courses in the UK – such vital subjects as health and safety, and starting up in business also being covered – and when you come out of it, you’ll possess a clear practical and theoretical understanding of plastering.
If, then, you want to put a platform in place for sustained success as a plasterer, you’ll struggle to find a better one than one of these practical courses!
