plastering

31st July 2019 By Graham Binns

Hottest day of the year BBQ followed by a lovely 5 star review

Thursday 25th July 2019 was the hottest July day on record with temperatures reaching 38.1C. That week at YTA we had a variety of courses running, it was very hot and everyone was suffering in the heat whilst trying to learn a new skill. Tiling, plumbing, kitchen fitting, carpentry and joinery courses were all running but it was the plasterers that were really suffering. Mixing plaster, up and down ‘hop ups’, back and forth to their mix and skimming their walls and ceilings. It was getting sweaty!

As staff we tried keeping everyone going with cool water, we stocked up on supplies they day before as the 24th was still quite a warm day too. We decided that there was only one thing for it, a BBQ! Let’s just do it and grab a few disposable BBQ’s from ASDA over the road, several packs of burgers and sausages and a load of ice lollies. Spirits were definitely lifted and it was a much needed enjoyable lunch hour where we all made the most of the superb weather.

We then received a lovely review from Marc and Josh who travelled up from South Wales following their plastering course.

Had an absolutely fantastic time at the YTA training centre. I went with my brother in law to do the plastering course and they went above and beyond to ensure our confidence and skills were up there before we left. Dave knows his craft, a great instructor and he certainly brought the best out of both of us. The atmosphere was incredible, met some great people and made some good friends. Graham the owner and all of the team members were the nicest people we’ve ever met, he went out to get supplies for a bbq and kept us in good spirits with ice creams due to the crazy weather, you won’t get that anywhere else! I would highly recommend this training centre if you’re looking to learn a new skill or skills. Thanks to Graham and Dave for an incredible experience Marc & Josh

Many thanks for the lovely review Marc, glad you and Josh both enjoyed the course. There was no way we couldn’t have a BBQ and Ice lollies on the hottest day of the year wether you are learning how to plaster or not! I think everyone on all the courses appreciated it too. Hope the plastering goes well and we may well see you back for a tiling course in the future when you are ready.

Regards, Graham

I'll be honest when I saw the advertisement and checked the place on google, I said another course to waste time, and contrary to having judged the place, the course was above my expectations, very practical, excellent teaching, I recommend 100 % five stars.

As an unskilled landlord I felt a little exposed due to the lack of plumbers out there doing small jobs, leaking sinks, new toilet inlets etc etc. I contacted YTA to bridge that gap a bit. After 5 days, I actually feel far more comfortable and I am actually going to tackle installing a bathroom. Very good, hands on training. Can be difficult to hear whats going on at times due to all trade training going on in the same room but I would definitely recommend them. I am actually going to do joinery, kitchen fitting and plastering too within the next 12 months.

Just finished the 5 day kitchen fitting course with Paul. I had very limited skills prior to this but have learnt loads and now feel totally competent to fully fit out my mums kitchen and utility room myself. Great course with very experienced tutor. Highly recommended. I'm going to do the plumbing course next. Thanks Paul and YTA.

Can't rate this place enough. I've done plumbing, plastering, and am about to finish a joinery course. The instructors are all very skilled in their respective trades and the class sizes are small enough that you have time to go at your own pace and really learn.All the instructors are very approachable and happy to answer questions, however stupid I thought they might sound.If you're considering a course here my advice is to do it. I started with virtually no practical skill at all and after each course I'm now confident that I can put these skills to good use in my house, and what I could produce by the end of each course is much better than what I've seen some tradesmen produce. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how much you'll learn at this place, even with no prior experience.

Finished my 10 day tiling course with Gary and it was superb.Considering I'd never laid a tile prior to starting the course and then to be tiling by 10am the morning is amazing and it's a credit to him, he has confidence in the people he's training even if they don't haha. Without thinking you just do it, he guides you along swimmingly.Gary, without saying it, recognises your pace and how confident or not you are and he goes with YOUR flow which I feel is correct.

I attended a 5 day plastering course .All the instructors are great and easy to get on with. Dave the plastering instructor is a top lad .Nothing to much trouble and really helpful.I’ve already started on my own house and the course definitely gave me the basics I needed to point me in the right direction.I would recommend Dave and all the staff to anyone thinking about having a go.I’m 61 served my time as a bricklayer straight from school but I wish I’d given plastering a shot years ago.Best thing I’ve done in a long time.Also ‘Bradford Digs’ great little place to stay.Cheers to all…Andy.
