Course Overview
Building on the skills learned from Plastering 101 and or Intermediate plastering, delegates will use the beginners bay and will focus on the relationship between speed and accuracy to increase overall performance and spread rate, heading towards total independence and real-world obstacles, further honing your skills with even less tutor guidance.
This course is delivered using a practical approach in professional workshops under the direction of qualified and experienced plastering experts.
