You dream of a career as a plasterer and you want to learn the basiscs of the industry.

This programme is for individuals who work or want to work as a plasterer in the construction sector. The programme of study has been designed around the needs of local employers. It has a mix of both practical and theory-based learning.

On this course you will be working to recognised industrial standards and will gain crucial underpinning knowledge and skills to prepare you for a career as a plasterer.  HRC works closely with key employers in the local area to support not only an oustanding training facility but also progressive routes into employment.

Designed for those who wish to pursue a career in plastering and who are not currently working in the industry.
