Metal stud wall courses??

[Sparksta]

Hi i am currently completing my level 2 plastering through college, all is going well and i am wanting to continue learning new things. I am thinking about a short course in metal stud partitioning/dry lining(not sure of course names) so i can do a job from scratch. is it worth doing and if so where in the north of england can i do it? would consider travelling further if its going to help me get more work

Have you done and internet search ? Try getting on with a dry lining firm offering cheap labour and pick it up that way

Hi Kev (fellow forum lunatics......)

Knauf carry out these training courses as product training courses for Knauf products and systems and offer a certificate of attendance for the course.

The courses laid out are typical courses available and can be taylored to suit specific product or system needs.....

Feel free to contact the office for more info, or make contact with your local Knauf contact (or me) if you have specific (Knauf product) training needs.

There have been several forum members who have taken advantage of some Knauf product training recently...... I hope they will comment on it below.

Kev - Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss anything specific further.

Good Luck Guys.
