Excellent course, would highly recommend to anyone looking to take up plastering as a career, on the tools on day one and Rob is a great instructor giving you the confidence to get on with it.
I chose this course as it was easy to get to from Bristol only took me an hour to get there, plenty of parking and food places.
You can’t go wrong with this course we’ll worth doing.

Thank you Rob for kick starting my career

I recently started a comprehensive plastering course that took me from a complete beginner to an advanced level in just one month, and I owe this incredible transformation to my outstanding teacher, Rob.
From the very first week, Rob’s teaching style was engaging and supportive, making the task of learning plastering accessible and enjoyable. The beginner course was well-structured, and Rob’s clear explanations and hands-on demonstrations helped me grasp the basics quickly. His patience and willingness to answer all my questions built a strong foundation for my skills.
Moving on to the second week, we delved into dry lining and plastering. Rob’s expertise shone through as he introduced more complex techniques and encouraged us to apply what we had learned in practical scenarios. His constructive feedback and personalized guidance were instrumental in boosting my confidence and eficiency.
Rob’s passion for teaching and his deep knowledge of plastering made this course an invaluable experience. His ability to adapt his teaching methods to suit each student’s learning style created an inclusive and effective learning environment. Thanks to Rob, I now feel confident in my plastering abilities and prepared to take on professional projects.
I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in plastering, and I can’t thank Rob enough for his exceptional guidance and support throughout this transformative journey
