Hi Folks,
My name is Doug and I am looking to retrain in a trade. I am 34 and am a Graphic Designer by trade. Design has been good to me but what with the economic climate and oil downturn up here in Scotland things are tough and the industry is diluted with young students undercutting everyone and stiff competition for any full time salaried work.
I am looking to retrain and an looking for some advice on working as a plasterer. Basically I wan't to become a Plasterer and am willing to put in the time and effort to gain the skills and qualifications needed.
Can anyone advise on a good course to attend or progression route to take and rough duration?
Also I live in Aberdeen in Scotland and have read/heard that the Plastering trade is decreasing due to lack of housing being built, Brexit looming and the fact most new buildings are being fitted with drywalls. Is there any truth in this?.
Cheers.
