Plastering Apprenticeship Standard
Plasterers apply layers of plaster onto walls, floors and ceilings. Plastering serves a protective function, in that it makes buildings more robust and also an aesthetic function.
Plasterers will often complete dry lining projects during their career. Although a person may specialise solely in dry lining, a plasterer must have the knowledge of dry lining in addition to their knowledge and skills to plaster.
Our Level 2 Plastering Apprenticeship will help you gain the skills and experience needed for a career in the industry.
What you will learn
Solid plastering involves applying a range of plastering systems on to different background surfaces using traditional and modern materials. Background surfaces include solid plain walls, walls with openings and returns, ceiling joists and partitions and beams and piers that are attached or independent of walls.
We aim to deliver training for plasterers to have knowledge of and develop skills in External wall insulation and silicone finishes, projection plaster, flowing renovation screeds. This will place them at an advantage over a large proportion of plasterers working in the industry and will provide employers with an experienced workforce
