No Experience Needed – Build Real Skill in One Focused Week 9:00 AM – 3:00 PMMaximum 5 students per course This is our most complete beginner training programme. Designed for total beginners, serious DIYers, and tradespeople who want to properly understand plastering from the ground up. No classroom theory overload.You’ll be on the tools every day. What You’ll Learn Over 5 Days The course is structured to build skill step-by-step so your confidence develops properly — not rushed, not overwhelming. Surface Preparation Assessing different backgrounds Preparing walls and ceilings correctly Applying PVA and bonding agents Managing suction control Mixing & Materials Mixing plaster to the correct consistency Understanding setting times Reducing waste Avoiding common mixing mistakes Skimming Walls & Ceilings Full 2-coat skimming process Timing between coats Flattening and polishing techniques Working on plasterboard and solid backgrounds Ceiling control and confidence Beads & Repairs Fitting angle beads correctly Clean edges and sharp corners Patch repairs and blending techniques Fixing damaged areas Professional Workflow How plasterers manage timing Tool control and maintenance Avoiding beginner errors Working efficiently and cleanly Each day builds on the last. Real Hands-On Training You’ll plaster throughout the week. Demonstration → Practice → Correction → Repeat. That repetition is what builds real confidence. Training takes place in a proper working bay — not a classroom setup. Small Groups. Proper Guidance. We limit the course to 4 to 5 students maximum. That still allows: Personal feedback Real-time corrections Plenty of time on the tools A focused learning environment You won’t be standing around watching. Flexible Focus If there’s an area you want to improve — ceilings, patching, second coat timing — we can strengthen that during the week. But strong foundations come first. What You’ll Walk Away With By the end of the week, you will: Understand the full skimming process Be able to plaster a small room independently Repair damaged walls confidently Control timing between coats Handle tools correctly You won’t be a master in five days. But you will have real, usable skills and a solid foundation to build on. What’s Included All tools provided All materials included Practical hands-on training Small group environment Wear old clothes — plastering is physical and messy.
