i'll say again right now my friend dont even think about it save your money and look into it again in 12-18 months, there is no point doing a starters course to find that you get no work for the next 9 months by which time the training will of been no benefit to you so please think about it.
 
a think these 4 day courses are a waste of time n money anyway what are you goin to learn in 4 days a think if you do decide to do a course go to college n learn for atleast a year you could even get an apprenticship theres no age limit anymore
 
i opted for the 2 years at college route, cant fault it atall, 2 full days a week at college and the rest of the time to work for myself and earn while i learn :cool: they do a night course tho think its just one evening a week
 
I dont think you are going learn enough on a four day course to be of much use. im half way through a two year course just done a city and guilds fca plastering and im going back in september to do an ica. i did some labouring work then in june started on my own i had plenty of work in june and july but the last 4 weeks it has dropped off. i got all my work by putting an ad in the local paper but i havent had any work from it for over four weeks and am getting all my work at the mo off a builder i know. i dont think now is the best time to get into plastering.
