Question

Thinking of doing a 5 day plastering course. anyone been on 1 before and did u get a job after completion?

Answer 1

Would you employ someone who told you he had only 30hrs.experience? if you want to learn a trade,do the job properly.theres enough cowboy's about now.

Answer 2

sorry, I cant answer your question

Did you know that "Plastered" is synonymous for Drunk because it was the Irish who took the early plastering jobs, and were known to drink heavily.

Answer 3

Last plastering i did was in the pub. Did not get a job after it though.

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

There is no possible way that you will ever be as good as someone that's taken courses over a few years in 5 days! They will learn you the basics and methods but that's about it. You probably wont get a job doing plastering as you do not have x amount of experience behind you. I don't aim to confuse you or belittle your choice in any way but as a qualified carpenter from years ago (now qualified chief through career change) its a tough world out there in your career choice.
