plastering courses in the North East area

Give the City of Sunderland College a call. Although plastering as such isn't listed on their prospectus, it might be included in their brickie courses or suchlike, or they might point (sic) you in the right direction.

You could just have a go at plastering and see what happens - saves the cost of a course, and materials are cheap so you can get plenty of practice.

I have already rang City of Sunderland College, no can do on the plastering front, I am prepared to pay if anything is out there If I could become halfway good at it could look at it as possible carreer change, anything has got to be better than call centres! If anyone is interested they do evening plumbing courses starting in September am going to sign up for that in July.

AnthB, cool, cheers that looks just the job will give them a ring later

I did the plastering course up near Bedford and they had recently opened up a place "up North" somewhere - not sure where - may even have been in Scotland.

I am pretty sure it is called the "Plasterers Workshop" and can very highly recommend it - will try to find the invoice and post the info.

I had plastered a few walls, but was slower and they certainly speeded me up, and taught me several techniques I don't think I would have discovered by trial and error

I did that one, it was called plasteringworkshop.com.

I believe the one "up north" was in Dumfries so its quite a trek from the NorthEast. It was an excellent course though....

Yes, Dumfries is in the south west :-)

according to the lasses.....

Surely in terms of the UK (uk.d-i-y) it is in the midlands.

There's a couple of adverts in our local free papers (S.E. Northumberland) offering short, 4 & 8 day, courses:

Builders Training North East 0191 267 5777

and

"Plastering & Tiling Course" based in Northumberland. No address but phone no is 07986 527574

I've no idea what these places are like so can't make any comment on them other than just passing on the above info.
