Not so long ago, school education was centred around academic qualifications, meaning many youngsters ended up with no qualifications at all. This meant that they were forced into the role of the unskilled labour force. In the North East, an area famed for its skilled craftsmen, this usually resulted in unemployment.

Today, of course, we have NVQs – the equivalent of academic qualifications, but in practical skills. They are the gateway to skilled employment, while filling a gap in the shortage of skilled labour. Skilled plasterers are in short supply - meaning there has never been a better time to take plastering NVQs than now. Students who have taken NVQ plastering courses are regarded in the same light as those with fine arts degrees.
Unlike many practical skills, plastering training is equally suitable for both men and women. You can begin at any age - in fact, older people often make the best students. They have communication and common-sense skills many younger people lack, and are highly motivated to succeed.
You can start plastering training at any stage. The entry level certificate requires no formal qualifications at all so, if you left school without any GCSEs (or their former equivalent) and are sick of menial, low-paid jobs – this is for you. People often discover that, whereas academically they are “not very bright”, they excel when it comes to plastering courses. From level 1 (no formal qualifications needed) you can progress to level 3 and beyond – diploma, or HND level. In fact, you can take plastering NVQs to bachelor’s degree status – if you want.
The North East is traditionally an area of high unemployment. We at Plastering Training North East are reversing that trend. Our plastering courses are suitable for anyone, of any age, and will give you a valuable NVQ qualification that is recognised across the industry.
