Aim of course
This course is designed as an introduction to the practical skills and knowledge needed for plastering.What will the course involve?
The course will be assessed with a mix of practical and theory assessment throughout the course culminating in an online exam to test knowledge. Candidates aged 16-19 yrs will also study the BTEC Introduction to Construction and Key Skills in numeracy and literacy. The Key Skills will be studied as an integral part of both the Diploma and BTEC qualifications.Course Content
Areas of study will include: solid plastering ie rendering, skimming, screeding and decorative plasterwork.The secondary qualification, the BTEC Introductory Certificate in Construction will teach you about career options in construction and provide health and safety training. This will make progression onto another construction course easier.
As 16-19 yr old learners study two qualifications, you will attend college for four days a week; mature students only study the Level 1 Diploma and need only attend for two days (these days will be decided by the Course Tutor to ensure that all areas are covered).
What can I do afterwards?
Students can look to progress onto a Level 2 course or seek a career in industry.What do I need?
Numeracy and literacy skills at Level 1 would be an advantage and an interest in construction is essential.You will be asked to carry out a skills assessment to determine the support you require to be successful on your course.
