'I attended a Foundation Plastering Course and an Intermediate Plastering Course in November 2006. The plastering course consisted of two weeks practical work ranging from plastering rendering, dry lining and coving. Before attending the plastering course I didnt know how to make a mix never mind plaster a room. After the plastering course was completed I had my first job, it required a new plaster board ceiling and the whole room plastering. As you can see from my photo it was a huge success. The teaching at the Building Skills Centre and any follow up help is second to none and I would recommend anyone who is planning on a career in this to go on one of these plastering courses.'
