Introduction to Plastering & Tiling is a taster course for those who want to learn the basics in both. You will learn to cut and fix plasterboard, apply a skim coat of plaster, advance to laying several coats of plaster and finish to a smooth finish and deal with damaged areas. Also learn how to render and lay screed. Finally you will learn how to prepare walls, tile and grout them to a polished finish.
The course is ideal for hobbyists who have their own projects to work on but would be suitable for workers in the trade who want to upskill.
