brilliant trade to know for a bit of cash on the weekend so will be carrying on with small jobs, and thanks.

Too all the people who said well done thanks but I didn't mean to write this to be about me I just used myself as an example for others who may be coming out of school and thinking about college, you'll be surprised how many people look on building forums for opinions.

This is the Plastering courses part right? All I've done is give people who are thinking of getting Onto a course a extra bit advise with what they can do with it, that's not shouting about what I got is it?

Wheres every one getting this I'm qualified lark from? Spunkys little rant? I'm no plasterer by any means I may never be all I've simply tried to get across is these courses are good stepping stones to higher courses.

That's fair enough and I won't knock anybody who does like doing that sort of thing every ones different. I've only come on here to post some thing different to usual negative stuff about these course. Of course most people got the wrong end of the stick.

I agree your never going to be a master plasterer after a course I haven't said anywhere that you will, all i was trying to point out is the little pieces of paper they give you saying well done you can plaster can take you a long way.

Not at all, my educations been free till now so not tossed any money away. If I didn't get a trade back ground I would of done A levels but learning a trade seemed better to me and easier. Either way I'd still be in the same course/ carrier choice.

not trying to rub noses or nothing it's just other options for people who might takes the course, thought it might be another option for people obviously not. It's most deffinaly something different to read that all.

Ive completed a course with little experience 3 years (nothing really) which has opened up the door to go onto higher education so yes some day it will earn me a living.

where did I say what makes a good plasterer? Living it really all payed and ready start. Just thought I'd post other options for people who are thinking of Starting a course and might fall out interest with it half way through. And not end up wasting all that time.

Where does it say all good spreads start at school? Dunno why you've gone and got your knickers in a twist it was only an opinion on what courses can do.

wasn't rude to you? Any need for that? Not qualified to breath an opinion? It's a forum! Nope far from a painter and decorator.

All I read on here is that these plastering courses are a waste of time and people shouldn't waste their money on it and they would learn more mixing up for a spread blah blah blah, but are they really? I have recently finished my level 3 In plastering and i am now going into higher education...

If I didn't need the money for a date later that night I would of walked.

Was doing a job 2-3 weeks back 100er for 12m2 of wall easy day I thought until I got there. Gets there i'm working in a house with 6kids and 3 bedrooms (smalls ones too) 2 of them were a sleep with a gerbil in between them in the room I was working in , there's a pair of bloody knickers screwed...
