So, an average master bedroom would be about 3.6 x 3.6 m2.
So, you have about 8 bags on whilst stumbling over the scaffold or constantly taking your clowns stilts off and on?
Lets not forget the reveals & tricky bits.
Our 15 bag a day hero takes a load of flack ... while you get away scottie free?
BULLSHITTER!

i used to trowel up with my boss following me giving me **** and i would just take gear off the board and stand then juggle it aronnd on the hawk/hand board/thingy
when I was 19/20 on site I would do this and actually enjoyed it. completely different story now I do domestics. will do a double bedroom in 2 easy hits. the joys of carpets. skirting boards, switches sockets and coving lol

i got some info from my local collage yesterday about the nvq for painting and decorating thinking it can be done in the pathetic time that a plastering nvq can be done........
nvq level 1 36 weeks, nvq level 2 36 weeks, nvq level 3 36 weeks thats 2 days a week so thats 43 weeks to get qualified level 3 painter or 8 weeks to be a plasterer :RpS_confused:

Jessop. College is just part of the training ground . Always has been always will be. I agree with you I had to learn to control the hawk and trowel (note not a board as posted on here). Then I got the cupboard and a foreman with a lath hammer , straight edge and a sheet of thin cardboard. If he could get it behind the rule off the plaster came. Did some fantastic cupboards before I saw a wall or ceiling. What is wrong here is not the college courses but the lack of plasterers/ company's that will take on and train the wannabees. the lads take these short courses and know no different , they are convinced they can hack it out there.

i agree with you but my point is why is it a 3 year journey with painting and decorating? the info i got is all classroom days no work placement.
plastering should be treated with the same attitude as painting? training wise.

Only use a labourer when rendering/screeding other than that I labour for myself.
Jessop. There are all sorts of plastering courses out there from a few days, years part time, weeks etc The core course for plastering for level 3 is based over 3 years with placement. the problem is placement. You can spend all the time you like in college but unless you are very good you will need site experience.Colleges need plasterers and company's to supply this

NVQ Level 3 Plastering Courses | NVQ L3 Plastering Course
8 weeks for nvq level 3
we all know experience is the most important part but you dont need it to be qualified

this is 8 weeks intensive for a beginner
i do not have nvq i would like to get it but the nearest place is 2 hours away
i was site trained every spread round here is the same due to lack of collages offering the training to go with the trade
