Plastering Courses

Plastering is a skill that’s in big demand. It’s a great trade for people who have good attention to detail, enjoy hands-on work and take pride in the finished job.

Our courses are designed to teach the basic skills needed for a future in plastering. Run by professionals still working in the profession, you’ll be taught up-to-date skills and knowledge. Our aim is to teach people to plaster to a very high standard and prepare you for your career!

Couldn’t recommend any place better to get qualified in a trade ! Recently completed the 5 day intensive plastering course & the confidence I now have from the skills and knowledge I’ve been taught is honestly crazy ! Really big thankyou to the lads at Century! 10/10 would highly recommend.
