- We invite all potential students to visit us prior to booking with any other Training Provider.

Q. "Why we are different to any other provider"?
A. "Come and see for yourself and ask the students" It's not the distance that you travel to a course, It's the Quality of the Training in Real life Scenarios. If you want a change in Career and have no experience we will get you qualified as a Plasterer. Or your money back.
The Pictures of our Plastering facility are more than adeqate for your course. We also have a dedicated outdoor Rendering Centre. we have vast amounts of proper decent size areas for you to learn in. You do not share areas whilst completing your training.
We are also recommended by National Companies such as Sovereign Chemicals for our Training, Knowledge and Professionalism
Questions to ask your Training Provider prior to booking a Plastering Course (They should all know the answers)
- Name six backgrounds that Thistle Bonding can be applied over?
- Name 2 backgrounds that Thistle Hardwall can be applied and why?

With the exception of the NVQ Level 3 Plastering Courses, there's no requirement to complete more than a 6 week Plastering Course as it is clearly evident that providers are drawing out the course to make more money.
Qualifications and what they mean:
City and Guilds Plastering
- The City and Guilds was available at Colleges many years before the NVQ. As we are old School trained and qualified we believe that the value of this qualification is paramount in all Solid Plastering. It is held in high esteem throughout the UK and across the Commonwealth, but Construction law decreed that the NVQ Level 2 be held for all trades onsite.
NVQ Plastering
- For all Trades working onsite. We also know that by 2014 all Self employed builders working on domestic properties will require this qualification.
Plastering City and Guilds and NVQ: ( NVQ Multi Skill)
- We teach many forms of Plastering throughout the 6 week Plastering NVQ Multi Skill Course. NO other provider offers Or can even deliver this. They will only give you an explanation rather than Practical hands on training. Well, when you come to Pebbledashing Or completing intricate Renders you will have no chance on the average house. At Goldtrowel we will teach you all you need to know and at the same time get you qualified.

Payment For Courses...
All our courses can be covered over a period to suit you as long as you complete the entire course within 18 months. You can train for 6 consecutive weeks, divide your weeks up or even incorporate some weekend training if you have ongoing weekly commitments. At Goldtrowel we aim to make our qualifications as accessible as is possible and additionally we offer a payment plan which, following a deposit, is on a pay as you train basis.
Important Notice:
When booking with your Course Provider you need to make sure that they are offering the right course to suit your needs and value for money, and when choosing your plastering course you should not be sharing areas. In other words, its not acceptable when 2 people are on the same ceiling and in the same room.. You need your own designated area, at Goldtrowel thats what you have, your own room. We have been experiencing more people who have done courses elsewhere come to us to retrain because of this and it's misleading.We do not have cubicles to work from just life size areas.
Our prices are based on the course structure and the amount that you complete and achieve whilst on your course.
"We also offer payment plans for those wishing to Book their course in advance" Also you can choose the days you want to train with us whether over weekends Or during the week.
All or Course are Goldtrowel Certificated.
