Most homes and buildings use plasterboard sheeting for internal walls and ceilings, and plaster or paper-based cornices and trimmings. These go together like a big piece of patchwork, and it's the wall and ceiling lining team who come in and do the fixing and joining — then the smoothing of all the joins — to get that perfect finish ready for the painters and/or plasterers.
In this course, you'll get the job ready skills that employers are looking for in a new apprentice. You'll learn how to read and interpret building plans, and carry out measurements and calculations to determine quantities of materials needed for a job.
You'll also learn about erecting and dismantling scaffolding, working safely at heights to fix standard plasterboard sheets and paper-based cornices, how to prepare surfaces for plastering, and a range of tools and materials used in the trade.
